"Hello Canada" 20 years ago, USA v Canada
I feel old. I wanted to brighten my morning a bit while the ongoing assault of Ukraine continues, and I heard on the radio it was the 20 year anniversary or close to, of our gold medal win in Salt Lake. Bob Coles ####ing classic "Hello Canada" is the most iconic opening to a hockey game I still remember today. Younger people won't realize how hungry we were as a nation for a gold in hockey after the Nagano disaster.
My favourite parts of the game were Joe Sakics goal and call by Cole, and the image of Gretzky and the staff hugging and jumping when we iced. "Surely that will do it".
I still get goosebumps.
What's your memories of 02?
