LATVIANS Know How To Greet Their Hockey Heroes 🇱🇻
Join me as we Latvia welcomes home their Hockey Heroes.
To mark the occasion, the country cancelled school and work and the country headed to the capital to greet their national hockey team.
We get right in the middle of it and it is an experience I will never forget.
We meet the locals that are feeling proud and ready to party.
Hockey is the number one sport in Latvia, and this is a huge deal, watch to see how this made Riga an even greater city than it already is.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakuski and join me as we visit the amazing city of Riga as it's national sporting heroes are welcomed home.
Thank you to all my Patreons for your support and helping make this channel what it is!

As a Canadian hockey fan whose been spoiled by many championship victories and golds (including this year), I am happy for Latvian fans 🇨🇦🤝🇱🇻 so many years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears from players, coaches, fans and their families that helped get them there. This is what hockey is all about, the hard work, love and dedication for this amazing sport. Historic feat for Latvian hockey ❤️

But I absolutely love the Baltic states and how they don’t take any shit from China and other bully countries. They have been through some crap as well as Ukraine. That place cannot catch a break. I actually like the Soviet architecture, war memorials and stuff but u can understand why they don’t.
