That's the problem with hockey -- way too many padded clothes. Physics project: find a substance with the same oddball properties as water (melting point lowers under pressure) but with that point around 75F so the skaters can be naked (or in short-shorts, at least.) MUCH more popular sport results! OK, so maybe they'd get hurt a bit...
Since you have a Mac, and I have a beat up old computer at work, I'll take your word for it. I'll take a closer look at it when I get home, and see what my PC looks like. If it is heinous, I'll hunt around for a new Canadian flag icon.
There was an article in The Boston Globe a week or so ago (that I'm way too lazy to go to the trouble of finding out if it's even still available online) about an artist who had painted some pictures of various athletes -- maybe only hockey players -- naked. (These were not drawn from life -- I guess he imagined what they might look like naked based on what they look like clothed.) the Globe accompanied the article (on the bottom of the front page) with a partial view of his painting of local hero Bobby Orr (strategically cut off at the waist, of course).

I never knew Cary Grant played hockey, or even played a hockey player.
