Girl Power!
There’s no denying that Canadian women are talented, look no further than our hockey team who has done it yet again. I’m not too much of a sports fan, but it’s hard not to look at the ladies representing Canada at the hockey tournaments. Even if less rink time may be given to girls in Toronto, we take the cake. Go team Canada!

Canadian women beat U.S. for hockey gold
VANCOUVER—The Canadian women, who only gave up two goals this entire Olympic hockey tournament, have their three-peat.
They are golden once again.
With Canada’s men’s team on hand in support, watching from high up in the press box, the women jumped to a 2-0 first period lead and then held on behind the magnificent goaltending of Shannon Szabados to make that the final score.
The Americans won gold when women’s hockey was introduced to the Olympics at Nagano in 1998 but the top of the podium has been reserved for Canada ever since. While the Americans spoke of the pressure the Canadian women would be under on their own ice, much as they were as silver medallists at Salt Lake City in 2002, the Canadians melded the energy at Canada Hockey Place with their own desire to make sure the championship was never in doubt.
