加拿大最出名的运动当属曲棍球了，小孩子们从小就开始玩了.....
 
Maura: Now, today’s episode1 is a Chatterbox episode, and that is where Harp2 and I chat about some topic of interest. And today we are going to chat about…
 
Harp: Sports.
 
Maura: That’s right. Harp and I are gonna talk about sports. First, we’re gonna talk about sports that are popular in Canada.
 
Harp: Yup. And then we’re gonna talk about traditions3 for watching sports.
 
Maura: And lastly we’re going to talk about our own stories playing sports and growing up with sports.
 
Harp: Excellent. Let’s get started, Maura.
 
Maura: All right. So I feel like if we’re gonna talk about popular sports in Canada, we should start with hockey.
 
Harp: Of course. Hockey is, like, the Canadian sport. It is the sport that most Canadians are obsessed4 with.
 
Maura: Right. And if you were a little boy in Canada, you probably played hockey. A lot of boys in Canada grew up playing hockey.
 
Harp: And now even a lot of girls are playing hockey. It’s really the national sport.
 
Maura: And one thing we should mention, if you didn’t know and if you’ve never played hockey, it’s actually really expensive.
 
Harp: Yeah, hockey is a very expensive sport to play, especially for kids, because they’re growing and every year they need new skates and new equipment5.
 
Maura: I’ve heard that hockey equipment, like, everything that you need to play ice hockey, can cost more than $1000.
 
Harp: It’s very expensive.
 
Maura: Yeah, it is very expensive. But it’s a very Canadian sport and so lots of parents pay that much money for their kids to play.
 
Harp: Yeah, definitely6. And now there are a lot of organizations that help with poor families who can’t afford for their kids to play.
 
Maura: Yup. Well, another popular sport in Canada is football. Harp: Yup. Surprisingly, football is very popular in Canada. And when we say football, we mean American-style football. We don’t mean soccer right now. Soccer is getting very popular, but we mean American football.
