Microsoft have announced that the Zune will officially be a hockey playing, moose loving, beer drinker.  The Zune team has made the official annoucement at CES 2008.

 “We are excited to offer Canadians an alternative music experience with Zune,” said Zune Canada group manager Craig Tullett.

Microsoft launched the Zune in the U.S. in November of 2006 with a 30 GB model.

Last year the company eclipsed its stated goal of selling one million Zunes, shipping a total of 1.2 million. By comparison, since launching the first iPod in 2001, Apple has sold more than 100 million units, and more than three billion songs through the iTunes store.
