I've Got the Button to Prove It.

It's actually been sort of fun to find things "Canadian" to take with me. Maple cookies, tattoos, myriad cute beaver paraphernalia, stickers, beach balls, pens, keychains. And I mustn't forget the ever-popular moose.
My favorite, by far, is this little item...
Referring, of course, to hockey (ice) and lacrosse (grass).
Lacrosse is actually Canada's official national sport and is also played on hard courts (box lacrosse), which I personally prefer. Strangely, the Aussies also play quite a bit of field lacrosse, although I believe that most people have no idea what it is.
All you really need to know is that it's cool, that I played it as a child, and that those solid rubber balls hurt. A lot.
