Canadians have a reputation for being polite. “Some day, Canada will rule the world. Then you’ll all be sorry” and “What is Canada’s favorite board game?”/“Sorry!” are a few jokes.
However, Canadians are very serious about hockey. “Yeah, we Canadians are soooo nice & polite. Unless of course we lose a hockey game. Idiots” was posted on Twitter by Arngrim on June 16, 2011. “Canadians: polite and kind to others until the hockey game starts” was posted on Twitter by BiteSizeCanadian™ on December 23, 2012.
“People who think that Canadians are more polite have clearly never been to a minor league hockey game” was posted on Reddit—Showerthoughts on January 1, 2020.

Anybody who thinks #canadians are quiet and polite all the time has clearly never been to a home #NHL #hockey game in a Canadian city.

If anyone still thinks Canadians are friendly and polite, just wait till a hockey game comes on.

When the rest of the world says that Canadians are so polite, they’ve never been to a #TeamCanada hockey game 😅 #RefYouSuck #wjhc2020
