Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- The one "Maple Leaf" is a German Whisper line (adjacent digits must have a difference of at least 5).
- The two "Hockey Sticks" are Thermometers (digits must increase from the bulb).
- The three "Hockey Pucks" must be odd digits.

As a Canadian, I approve.
~~~ Why thank you! I was pretty pleased with this one :p

The break-in was quite tricky, but beautiful. Very clever puzzle and aesthethically pleasing as well :-)

Thank you so much, very kind! High praise indeed from a name that's familiar even to this newcomer in the world of CTC and "weird variant sudoku" :p

Very enjoyable puzzle!
Even though I agree with other comments about the difficulty. After 3 steps, I already knew which were the high and the low digits and this is something that seldom happens to me
~ Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the feedback. I think maybe I'm missing some possible deductions in my own puzzle, then (or I'm not as good at Sudoku as I thought :p), because on playing it back myself, I found figuring out the high/lows to be fairly tough!
EDIT: I've decided to downgrade the difficulty to 3 stars, so as not to put people off :)

Nice entry, I like the idea.
~ Thank you! I originally had a given digit to help with the break-in, but was surprised to find it worked without it!
