Handegg, I like that. my favourite sport is puckstick.
I guess not every sport has to be called by the name of the instruments it's played with.
I'm not a history buff, but I've heard that it's called football because in the past it was more similar to rugby where more people use their feet and at the time soccer didn't exist (or atleast in NA).
Something I just thought about with all the zee vs zed talk. Did Canadians grow up singing the alphabet song? like "A B C D . . . Y & Z, next time won't you come and sing with me?"
I'm just wondering because I don't think the song would have been created and/or caught on as well with the z = zed. To me having it zed at the end brings it to an abrupt halt and of course no longer (or just simply doesn't) rhyme with the ending "me"
