When you think of iconic Canadian symbols, there are a few things that may come to mind - a Mountie's red coat, the snow-covered peaks of Whistler or our national winter passtime, hockey.
On Thursday afternoon, the B.C. Royal Canadian Mounted Police tweeted out a photo that could be the most Canadian image ever.
The picture shows a Mountie in full uniform playing hockey on a mountain-side rink with the caption, “We may be Mounties, but we are all still kids at heart with @NHL dreams”.
As of 2 p.m. on Friday, the image had already been retweeted more than 800 times.

There are few things more beautiful and majestic than outdoor hockey in the Canadian Rockies ...

Then two mounties came paddling by and busted me! They took my info and gave me a fine. The one guy did all the talking and was nice enough about it. When they left they just took off at an unbelievable speed. When I got to the portage they had a fire going with coffee and lunch. The one guy waved me over and I had some of their coffee and food and chatted. They were on some speed canoeing team. That ingrained my image of the Dudley Do-right character. (The second mountie never said a word!)
Cool story - thanks for sharing twelve...
