This may seem like a wierd question, but I've always wondered.

Where does the term "canuck" originate?

I know the derivation of the term "hoser" but never could figure out what the hell a canuck is.

And if it's supposed to be derogatory, I'm sorry. And why does a hockey team use it if it is supposed to be?
