Given the number of Canadians that called San Juan del Sur home, it's not surprising that July 1st is a big deal here!
For the second year in a row, Canada Day was celebrated with a massive road hockey game. The Canadians that didn't play cheered from the sidelines.
One notable change in the Canada Day Road Hockey game was the number of local Nicaraguan kids that joined the game. Last year the kids had never seen any type of hockey. Over the course of the last 12 months, while watching our 6 or 7 pick up games, the kids have developed an interest in the game and are keen to join the fun. I suppose games of all sorts are universal!
