Our ice, our game, OUR GOLD

After weeks of staying up until odd hours of the night to watch the Olympic hockey games, it all came down to one night; and what a night it was. There is something about hockey that brings Canadians together, wherever they are, in fierce passion and pride. We had to deal with BBC commentators comparing us to "Canadian geese", calling the goal a "net minder", and occasionally referring to the puck as a ball, but it didn't matter. It was a nerve wracking game, but with the unwavering support of our fellow Canucks, we made it through. Ok, the pitchers may have helped too.

I hope that our cries of pride, elation, and total excitement could be heard all the way across the pond.
