    Since the beginning of time, Canada and the United States were categorized as countries that are the same. Despite being similar in contexts of government, development etc., both are very different in terms of identity. The patriotism of Canadian citizens was demonstrated when 3000 supporters are traveling from around Canada to Moscow to watch the games. Despite the fact that officials in Russia said otherwise, Canadians shook their flag to express that they are Canadian. Moreover, even when Canada lost number five match in Russia, Canadians sang the national anthem to show that they had their back. This devotion to sport was an important factor in the Canadian team victory. Paul Henderson, one of the players on the Canadian team and a Canadian hero, said, "It took an entirely different dimension from our point of view. I would say explicitly that without the 3,000 Canadian fans, I think we did not win the series. They were an inspiration. They were incredible. "Lately, excitement and preparation for the eighth game demonstrated Canada's pride in the…

    The New York Islanders brand is embedded within their traditions. Even the change of something as small as the goal horn, from the original foghorn that commended the Long Islands maritime traditions to the sound of the subway-inspired goal horn caused an outcry due to the fact that it did not symbolize the team, creating an unfamiliar environment and disrupting a branding technique that had been established decades ago (Drance, 2016). The New York Islanders entered the NHL in 1972, the last time they won a Stanley Cup was in 1983 (Kwong, 2015). Their main fan base consists of the people of that generation patiently waiting for that opportunity to arise again while passing down their traditions to their children and…

    It is the belief of palyers that receiving or touching the Conference Tophy is a bad omen, and decrease a team’s chances of winning the Stanley Cup. Yet throughout NHL history, this seems to not be the case, as teams which chose to touch a conference trophy tend to go on to win the Stanley Cup approximately 50% of the time. In 2008, The Penguins elected to not touch the trophy and lost, a year later they touch/picked it up and won Stanley Cup. It makes for an odd scene, with the palyers gathering around the trophy instead of celebrating their accomplishment.…
