Olympic Hockey in Jamaica

Hey everyone! I’m back! And I just had to post this while it’s still relevant since the Olympics just ended. Everyone knows that hockey is a religion in Canada so I needed to find a place to watch the gold medal game while in Jamaica.

This was so fun because I had met up with my girls at this little bar at fisherman’s beach in Ocho Rios. Three of us are Canadian and one is American and we all managed to force the bar owner to find the Olympics at 3pm for the big game! Imagine watching winter olympic hockey in a spot like this! It was great!

This day was so much fun. The Jamaicans all hung around even though they don’t understand hockey at all, but I think our excitement for the game made them stay. We tried explaining it as best we could. At one point early in the game we acquired two more Canadians who were walking around looking for a place to watch the game too. Turns out they’re from my hometown!

It was a fabulous game and as you all know, Canada took the gold medal. I can’t think of anywhere else I would have rather watched it, except maybe with my son. There you have it….winter olympics in Jamaica!
