In its report about today being Wayne Gretzky's 50th birthday, the local TV channel suggested that if you polled Canadians and asked if this should be a national hockey, most would likely say yes.
Considering we don't even honour our first prime minister's birthday with a holiday, that'd be quite a thing to fete an athlete.
Still, given hockey's popularity, I wonder if the the various provincial governments that have created Family Day in February as a holiday got it wrong. Maybe they should've called the holiday Hockey Day. For many of us, it's the same as Family Day anyway.
