Has a large Canadian congregation and scattered pockets of believers in the north eastern U.S. Although missionary work in Europe has proved successful in Scandinavia and Russia, the true strength of the Church of Hockey is clearly in the vast frozen wastes of Canada. There in the parish churches of small town tap-rooms worshippers gather to discuss the scripture and revelations of their creed. And from the great cathedrals the word is spread throughout the land, in many an various ways, all of them miraculous.
"And Lo, in the beginning was Maurice, known also unto thee as the Rocket, and from him sprang Gordie of the elbows of Tribulation, and from him came Bobby of the golden locks and mighty shot, and from Bobby came there another Bobby, and upon his raimant was the number 4, and he led the ursine ones to salvation, and thence came Saint Wayne of blessed memory, he of the numeral 99, and from Wayne cameth the mighty Mario, who raised the flightless birds unto the highest pedastal, and from Mario cometh the new messiah Sidney the good. Praise be, to them and to the glory of the Church of the frozen pond."
