Is hockey truly Canada's game anymore? With the Brampton Steelheads hosting a citizenship ceremony at center ice, it begs the question of what it means to be Canadian in 2025. Is this a brilliant move to integrate newcomers, or a publicity stunt that cheapens the meaning of citizenship? Does tying citizenship to hockey alienate those who don't connect with the sport, and what other uniquely Canadian experiences could be used instead? Let's hear your thoughts. I predict this will spark a larger conversation about Canadian identity in a rapidly changing world.
