Because Canada is under the control of the United Kingdom. UK's monarch in this case a King, who is their commander and chief told them to do it. Back in those days Canada had less independence than they do now. They used to be the Dominion of Canada. Canada still has a governor general who is the Queen's representative.
Plus the Canadians thought that hockey might be threatened by the Germans.

Maybe because they dont want any trouble with countries, and if we (canada) ever got in any sticky situations we would have help. (if we declined their plea for help they would decline ours if we ever needed it). And canada, as a nation, is just kind like that.
