i would assume that this film would get rave review in canada particularly in quebec . that because the canadian have traditionally love hockey and the montreal canadian be like god in canada for decade . a an american and the close thing we have to them be the new york yankee . if you be a fan and then they be the great and winning team in history . if you be not a fan and then they be satan team . well and at least that how it be a i grow up in washington and dc in regard to the dallas cowboy . so i be pretty sure when this film be show up north that everyone immediately have a strong emotional reaction their national sport and the close thing they have to a national team in the nhl . now the cartoon itself be moderately interesting when it begin and the main character talk about grow up around ottawa and root for the canadian and maurice the rocket richard . however and when his mother accidentally buy him a toronto maple leaf jersey and force him to wear it and i know right away what a horrible and shameful thing this would be to a little boy . this ability to connect to the character even though he live in a far off land be what make this a very special short film . the way the other kid treat him and his conversation with god at the end make this a lovely nostalgic film . very clever and memorable .
