UPDATED: 2-AUG-11, FBThere is more to the province of Ontario than the Senators and the Maple Leafs. The history of sports in Canada "s largest province is long and filled with interesting, amazing, weird and funny stories from hockey to tug of war:- In the history of the NBA, only 17 players have hailed from Canada--Rick Fox and Jamaal Malgoire are two of the six Ontario born players to have made it to the big leagues- Although it sounds improbable, a Canadian soccer team from Galt won Olympic Gold in 1904- The Grey Cup was created in 1909 but the Hamilton Tiger Seniors won the Grey Cup in 1908- Ottawa born Frank McGee played hockey with only one good eye and scored 14 goals in one Stanley Cup game- Brantford native Wayne Gretzky has a score records in the NHL, but one of the many things you might not know about the Great One is that he once appeared on a daytime soap opera- A miracle once saved the Grey Cup from being destroyed in a fire at the Argos head office; it tumbled from a shelf and got hooked on a nail, saving it from the fire below- The Lord "s Day Act was put into effect in 1907 in order to keep curlers in church on Sundays- The Death Spiral, a common maneuver in pairs figure skating, was invented by two skaters from Ontario- If you ever have a chance try Mike Weir "s own brand of wine its delicious (legal drinking age of course!)- The Stanley Cup almost made it back to Ontario in 2006 when the Ottawa Senators made it to the finals, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion.
