Yes Hockey dominates the Country of Canada and they have some of the best ever in Ice Games (NHL) of all time. The Tide is turning though as the New Canadian Kid is making it big in Hoops all over the U.S.. There not only becoming "Big Man on Campus" but they are making a new wave in the NBA and the biggest name to date of course is Two-Time NBA M.V.P. Steve Nash.

Nash who was actually born in South Africa but raised in Canada from an early age was dominant in his day with the Dallas Mavericks and then went O-Zone Layer with the Phoenix Suns and became a back to back NBA M.V. P.  in the "Valley of the Sun".  Now there is a new wave of hoopers and most have come through a Prep School near Sin City, Nevada in Las Vegas Suburb Henderson, Nevada. The Prep School called Findlay Prep has produced in the last 5 years some of the best young talent in the Logo. Most of whom matriculate to Hookem' Horns U to play for Rick Barnes and the University of Texas. Findlay also produced the 2013 #1 Overall Pick in the NBA and he stayed in Vegas for one season to play for the UNLV Runnin' Rebels. There could also be the #1 Overall Pick in 2014 in the NBA might be another Kid who hails from Canada and how about those "Frozen Pucks".
