Take that Sweden

Well it was quite a game. Not in that it was very exciting. But it was interesting for a few reasons. Hayley Wickenheiser now holds the record for most olympic goals at 16. Meghan Agosta got a hat trick and for such a young player she is really one of the ones to watch. She shows a lot of potential to become one of the next leaders of Team Canada.

Speaking about leaders though, Sarah Vaillancourt played a really solid game. Honestly in my mind she is one of the future leaders of Team Canada.

They were outplayed by the Swedes in the third period.

All in all though the Canadian team is well deserving of the pride our country has in them. I'm glad they were relentless with the goals. And to those who say Canada is unfair chew on this, Hayley Wickenheiser is holding a conference/tournament in March to help build women's hockey worldwide. On top of this Hockey Canada will be holding a similar conference in the summer. Canada is like hockey missionaries we just want to help build this sport and spread a love for this game. So what are the Americans doing to build sports outside of their country eh?
Be sure to tune in to Maelle Ricker's gold medal presentation tonight. I believe but don't quote me that it is Alberta night down at BC Place.
