About hockey

I like ice hockey. It's a cool game.
This game came to my country from Canada. Canada is not only the birthplace of this game, but the game is part of their life. Canada's national team won two olympic games. Canada created a new vision for this game. I often hear that Canadians are born with skates. It is a joke, but a lot of people play hockey. "When I was a kid, my parents wanted me be an ice hockey player..." This phrase seems to be a very popular in biographies of non-hocky Canadian celebrities.
I don't really know the history of the beginning of Canadian hockey. It was a part of national sport culture. For me, national history begins in 60s-70s, when Chernyshev and Tarasov were coaching the national team. This lead to the clash of the Canadian and USSR teams. These events made a big bold statement in world hockey history. The Next 10 years made a big impact on popularity of the game in my country. A lot of boys (and even girls) played a hockey with wood sticks and balls made from pieces of ice on the street. They didn't even need a special place to play. They only needed a few friends and some space. They dreamed and they tried.
Today's national team is another kind of team. It is now considered a big sport. It is difficult to say when the team was better: now or ten years ago. From the one hand: it is worse because it lost during two olympic games. On the other hand: now it has more (fundamentals?) than 10 years ago, and it has a possibility to grow.
What I'd like to see from coming world championship? I'd like to see a Team with team-play, combination game, wish to win, wish to play for a team, help teammates. I hope national team will be able to show it real level, without stupid mistakes. Every game will be a game with wish to win, to show a game, not just to show the appearance,
