4. You cry with nostalgia and happiness thinking about Peter "Foppa" Forsberg's penalty in the ice-hockey final, Olympic Games in Lillehammer 1994.
5. You can't refrain from bragging about winning both the olympic and the world championship 2006 in ice-hockey back to back whenever you have the opportunity to talk to a Canadian.

17. You KNOW that someday soon Björn Borg will make his come back... In the same white outfit and headband he wore twenty years ago!
18. You know what floorball (“innebandy”) is and you find it quite a cheesy sport.
