Olympic Hockey in Review

Another Winter Olympic Games have come and gone. I congratulate and thank all the participants that helped to make this set of games truly remarkable and a marvelous experience for all that watched. All the contestants showed the true Olympic spirit and determination to achieve excellence, which I do believe each one accomplished whether they received a medal or not.

The Highlight of the games at least from my perspective was the gold medal hockey game between Canada and the USA. Rivalry between the two squads is really an understatement, like the roman gladiators of old, each team was determined to win no matter what the cost . The teams played with discipline and such a quick tempo that it truly was difficult to even follow the puck. 

To even try and recap the game would be like trying to explain the beauty and awesomeness of mother nature itself. Even until the final goal was scored it was a battle of wills. The coaches, players and fans  all in desperation mode yet seemingly in complete control. 

The talent and expertise of all the players in this years tournament, left me in awe. The only comparison in all of hockey is the Stanley Cup final itself. 

Thanks again,

 to all the world competitors
