Since it seems to vary with the location, how about other contries?  Does
Europe follow the cannadian rule or the us rule?  Or is canada the exception?
in which case, why do they go that way?
 
The thing that most surprised me about that play was even though michigan
the zone several times before the next whisle, none of the defencemen gave
turco his stick to replace the stub that he had left.  I would hope that they
were at least aware that their goaltender's stick was broken.
