(Although not mentioned specifically in the strip, Bucky is wearing a Hamilton Tiger-Cats toque) Bucky replies that all sports in Canada are puck based. Satchel informs him that football is huge in Canada, and then asks Bucky if he had ever heard of Roger Aldag, since Aldag can"t walk down the street in Saskatchewan.
Bucky replies that nobody can walk down the street in Saskatchewan since it is covered in ice.
