I love this! It's so well put together! The song is great too, I love the background singer. It's pretty neat to have a song about your very own hometown. :)

I liked it when he switched into black and white. This was pretty good. Now, I know of Thunder Bay.

Aw, fun! Love the look, too! I always love seeing folks doing their thing--and doing it well! Good luck to the kids!

Definitely pure love for the hometown!

Big thanks for sharing this!

My mum is Canadian. Hockey's always been big in my family, too.

nice video, good lyrics. Does it get cold up there?

Greg: depends what you consider cold. We haven't hit -40 once this winter! That's where Celsius meets Fairenough ya know... in Jan/Feb we get overnights below 0 F, but this January we had more rain than snow (an oddity).

Carrie - your Mum is Canadian, my family is from Iowa... strange coincidence.
