Sports

Canada have three major sports that they are involved in. Which to my surprise is less than I thought it would be but . Ice hockey, baseball and canadian football.

Ice hockey
With players hurtling around at nearly 50kph and the puck clocking speeds of over 160kph, this would be a high-adrenaline sport even without its relaxed attitude to combat on the rink – as an old Canadian adage has it, “I went to see a fight and an ice-hockey game broke out”. Players, especially in the minor leagues, are as adept at a right hook as they are at skating, and a few years ago the national team waged such a battle against the Soviet Union that the fight only stopped when officials turned all the lights off.

Canadian football
Professional Canadian football , played under the aegis of the Canadian Football League (CFL) , is largely overshadowed by the National Football League in the US, chiefly because the best home-grown talent moves south in search of better money while NFL castoffs move north to fill the ranks. The two countries’ football games vary slightly, but what differences do exist tend to make the Canadian version more exciting. In Canada the playing field is larger and there are twelve rather than eleven players on each team . There is also one fewer down in a game – ie after kickoff the attacking team has three, rather than four, chances to move the ball forward ten yards and score a first down en route to a touchdown .

Travel to Montreal’s Celebrity Hotel

A new Celebrity Hotel opened in Montreal a few months back and it is offering very low prices for a couple of months in order to start their giving out their services.

The hotel, which is located in the downtown part of Montreal, is also in the corner of St-Denis and Rene-Levesque. Formed by joining two hotels due to bad reputations. This hotel is a boutique hotel which is part of the chains of hotels of Exclusive Chain Hotel group.

personal safety

Travel agents and tour operators are likely to require some sort of insurance when you book a package holiday, though according to UK law they can’t make you buy their own (other than a £1 premium for “schedule airline failure”). If you have a good all-risks home insurance policy it may cover your possessions against loss or theft even when overseas. Many private medical schemes such as BUPA or PPP also offer coverage plans for abroad, including baggage loss, cancellation or curtailment and cash replacement as well as sickness or accident.
