It wasn’t the second miracle USA hockey fans had hoped for as Canada won in dramatic fashion to take the gold medal in the Olympic finals. But, if the USA had to lose to anyone for the gold medal, you have to be happy it was Canada.
Canada, the land where hockey was invented, and where the sport is treated like a religion was a deserving victor in the 3-2 overtime game. The nation’s devotion to the game is even depicted on the Canadian $5 bill which shows kids playing pond hockey and includes a quote from Roch Carrier’s “The Hockey Sweater.” With the whole nation watching the game played in host city, Vancouver, team captain Sidney Crosby, nicknamed “The Next One,” scored the winning goal.
The gold medal win in the country’s national sport put a huge exclamation point on the Olympics for Canada as the country won 14 gold medals in all.
