Lacrosse
In Canada, we arm our children with sticks in the name of sport.
My husband, Phil, is from Quebec. In true Québécois style, he was raised Catholic, played hockey almost every day of his life - and yes, ate poutine and tourtière.
While we live far from Quebec and our ponds never freeze in winter, Jackson, like his Dad, loves hockey. But Jackson has another passion too - lacrosse.
This was Jackson first year playing lacrosse, but it instantly became his favorite sport. He loves it!
His second to last game of the season starts in less than an hour, so I am going to post and run. I don’t want to miss it…

Janice,
For those of us not in Canada, what is poutine and tourtière? I haven’t the slightest clue, but I do know what Lacrosse is!

In New Mexico we give them sticks and let them ride horses and call it polocrosse.
I just have to add this link to my site if you’ve never seen it before it is something else to behold.

I’m Canada as well. My brothers played hockey all the time. I believe I read some where that lacrosse is actually Canada’s national sport! So your son isn’t straying too far from his roots after all

Yes Lisa - you are correct. Lacrosse IS Canada’s national sport!
Killashandra - I checked out that link. WOW!
Bailey’s Leaf - poutine is a French Canadian (Acadians have a version of it too) dish that is essentially fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Tourtiere is a meat pie. Yes - great healthy food choices. Good grief.
