Hockey Friday: Olympic Hockey!!!

Happy Opening Ceremonies day to everyone! The 2010 Winter Olympics are about to get underway and we wanted to share this great Vanity Fair article we discovered the other day via the NHL’s Twitter feed : The Five Biggest Olympic Hockey Moments. The videos are awesome and the whole thing is chock full of the charm of the greatest game on ice.

Kate IM’ed me: “It warmed my heart to watch the fans sing ‘Oh Canada’ in the closing minutes of the gold medal game in 2002.”

For my part, I could barely contain my glee upon learning that the Czechs have named an asteroid after Dominik Hasek and have written an opera about their triumph in Nagano in ‘98.

Seattle is close enough to Vancouver that my husband and I are going to attend a couple of events over Feb 20-21, including Sweden vs. Finland men’s hockey. I can’t wait!
