SI Interviews Stephen Harper

As the Winter Olympics draws near, Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated conducted an interview with PM Stephen Harper. Of course we all know that in addition to being a student of history and political science, PM Harper is also a huge hockey buff. One day he may even find the time to finish that book on the topic he loves so much.

Did you know that he had dreams of playing in the NHL? Did you know that if given the chance he would trade politics for playing pro hockey?

Here is a little snippet of the excerpt of their conversation that unfortunately didn’t make it to print.

SI.com: Given a choice, would you be serving as Prime Minister or playing in the NHL?

Harper: It’s probably terrible to say, but any Canadian boy, if he could play in the NHL, would play in the NHL.
