Why does Canada suck at Field Hockey?

On ice, we're the best in the world.

On pavement, if there was an event - we'd win street hockey Gold every year.

So why does Canada finish dead last at field hockey in the Beijing Olympics?

1. Availablity.

Field Hockey is not in most Canadian city or town high schools, or extra curricular events. And that's fine. But if you look up places to play field hockey in Canada - your search will be limited to Calgary, Vancouver, and a couple places in Ontario.

2. These guys never played ice hockey

Or any sports at all until joining a field hockey team.

3. You can too be an Olympian. 

I don't care what they say. What anyone says, if you can run and play hockey without scraping your face on the asphalt to play street hockey. You can be an Olympian for Canada in field hockey. There is no great training, just play hockey on grass with a gay stick. We're Canada, it shouldn't matter.

I honestly believe if you took 11 guys from the HF Boards "Edmonton Oilers" section, that have played hockey, and can run - they could beat Team Canada in field hockey on any given day. And medal on any given year. 

What's the worst that happens? They finish last? Kind of like the team we sent to China?
