A most exciting hockey game, one that kept us riveted to our seats throughout the game but especially in the last period. The Olympic Women's hockey game was one of the most exciting I have seen in a long time. At the end of the second period the score was 2-0 in favour of the US. In the third period with about three minutes remaining Canad scored oncce, then again with a few seconds to go in the period to tie the game 2-2. In overtime our Canadian team locked it up at 3-2. Sensational!
Hailey Wickenhieser played a sensational game and for her this is her last Olympics. She has been named to the IOC as a representative of Canada in an administrative role to oversee rules and regulations of the Olympics. She will be a wonderful ambassador of Canada with her perspective of fair play.
The score says it all! Yes, the American goalie was awesome and had her work cut out for her...the score for Canada could have been a lot higher!
A few days later, the Olympic Men's Hockey team met Sweden and while the game was a good one, the Swedes were outranked by a 5-0 Canadian win.
Well done, Canada!
I will say that we as Canadians can be very proud of our Olympians....10 Gold, 10 Silver and 5 Bronze to stand 2nd in the world after Russia. Way to go, Canada!
