And, said spokesmen for the Munksund-Skuthamn SK (MSSK) hockey club which visited Wingharri on Tuesday, they are finding Canada to be much like home. The weather, the food and the style of living are all familiar. Although the city of Pitea, ,' from which the MSSK club hails, is in the far north of_ Sweden, not too far from the Arctic Circle, the moderat- ing influence of the gulf cur- rents makes the weather not too different from what they have encountered here, though it is not so damp.
