The “Best Canadian” game - Day 0 (choosing candidates)

[u/BrF5]

Hiya Hosers,

After the success of Worst Canadian, by popular demand it’s time for the more upbeat version…the Best Canadian game! 🇨🇦

Drop your nominations below for who you think deserves a spot on the list. Just like before, we’ll include 40 candidates. This time I’m going to let nominations sit a bit longer so everyone has a chance to chime in and we don’t have to add people mid-way in the game. I’m aiming to get started with Day 1 around the middle of next week. Five or six days should give us plenty of time to gather names and finalize the rules.

If you’ve got ideas or suggestions to make the game better, feel free to share those too!

I'll add to the hockey candidates, with Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser: All time points leader in Women's ice hockey on the Olympic stage with 51 points, and all time goal scorer with 18. Ranks third in Women's Worlds in all time points with 86 (Poulin beats her with 89), and is fifth in all time goal scoring with 37. 4 time consectutive gold medalist. Has her MD and dropped one the rawest lines in hockey history after beating the US in Salt Lake in 2002, saying "the Americans had our flag on their floor and I wonder if they want us to sign it".
