This First Person column is written by Erlinda Tan, a Filipina Canadian and Edmonton Oilers fan who now lives in Vancouver.

For more information about First Person stories, see the FAQ . The first full hockey game I ever watched was during the 2010 Winter Olympics — the memorable final against the U.S.

when Sidney Crosby scored the golden goal in a nail-biting overtime. Along with friends on Vancouver Island, I watched the game on a big TV screen and then followed the news to see Canada erupt in jubilation from coast to coast to coast.

Cars honked for victory, while people sang O Canada inside trains, buses, malls, just everywhere. I had moved to Canada from the Philippines just a few months earlier.
