What a great two weeks for Canada! It’s hard to pick the number one top Olympic moment and I’m sure everyone has a different favourite, so lets hear ‘em.

For me top contenders:

• Fans singing O’Canada during the Gold Medal game at the Men’s curling. Love the patriotism and enthusiasm!!
• Sydney Crosby’s winning Gold Medal goal against the US. To see him rip out his mouth guard, flip the gloves off, whip his stick and the absolute excitement.
• Canada owning the Gold Medals!!! Sure the Americans got more metals total, but as a co-worker Chris said, the states were better at coming in second and third. WOOO HOOO CANADA!!!!!

Those are my fav’s lets hear your favourite Olympic moment (or top three).

Team Canada’s new hockey jersey was revealed, and to me it looks dirty. Like there was a stain on it, or like those microfiber suede couches that you can draw on.

But at closer look (really up close) and after further research it turns out there are things in the maple leaf including smaller maple leaves representing the gold medal counts for Canada’s men’s, women’s and ice sledge hockey teams, a thunderbird and an eagle and apparently in there somewhere is an image of a hockey player and stick (kinda like a tribute to the old jerseys?)
I guess the reason for the change was that national logos are not allowed on uniforms and they are finally cracking down on this…but I, and thousands no millions loved the Hockey Canada logo. Is that not a strong enough argument? Apparently not. So after five attempts to meet all the rules, this is the jersey we get. Simple from afar, but busy up close. Maybe they snuck in all the stuff in the Maple Leaf? Or they are planning to distract our opponents with the fancy designs?

So what d’ya think?
