Not really a big deal that he wants it but these young hockey players of the latest generation really come across as out of touch spoiled entitled brats. You have a memento from the game -- its called a gold medal. You're going to be lionized for that goal for eternity and will go on to make millions playing the game in the NHL, where you can collect the puck for every achievement in your career. Surely you can give back to the game a little.
