      I am here for this. So many Canadians in the entertainment industry relocate to Cali. Hell, it was even what drew the NHL into southern expansion. If Gretzky had never been traded to Los Angeles, I am betting that the NHL would be confined to Canada and the northern US (places that actually get snow, goddammit!) to this day.

      Edit: I know that mountainous regions in even tropical countries get snow, but the culture of hockey/winter sports in general doesn’t exist in warm-weather locales for a pretty obvious reason - people don’t experience cold winter weather there.
