#I'm sorry. It is probably true. AO3 writers are forces of nature#Hockey#NHL#men's hockey#hockey RPF#Canada#The Heritage Minutes for those not in the know were a 1 min series of clips on TV in the 90s#Sanctioned by the govt of Canada to teach Canadians about Canada's history#AO3#Fandom#fandom culture#I've said before fanfic and writers who do research for their fics can accidentally keep cultures alive#It's just wild to think that a top contributor for Canadian culture is people writing about NHL players having sex#Lmao#ice hockey#Sports#Heritage Minutes
