So why not go with the greatest female hockey player of all time for the flag bearer for the closing ceremonies? Hayley Wickenheiser makes sense on so many levels - the women's team won gold, this country is ultra-proud when it comes to hockey - AND not to mention that most of our medals in these olympics have been won by women. So why not go with a woman who is also a hockey player - and also happens to be the greatest one of all time!
Granted, Rochette wouldn't be a bad choice either. Neither would Hughes, but she already had her moment in the opening ceremony...

It's Rochette.
Wickenheiser can carry the flag at the next opening ceremonies - she's got one more games in her.
