Team Canada Women’s Ice Hockey Gold at Torino Winter Olympics
Golden Girls - Canada savours Olympic victory
TURIN, Italy — The Canadian women’s hockey team completed a dominating performance at the Winter Olympics by defending its gold medal with a 4-1 win over Sweden on Monday.
The game was anticlimactic as the anticipated Canada-U.S. final did not materialize, due to Sweden’s upset of the Americans in the semifinal.
But the Canadian players stormed off the bench, throwing their sticks and gloves in the air en route to a group hug of goaltender Charline Labonte.
“It never gets tiring, that’s for sure,” Canadian forward Vicky Sunohara told CBC.
They then took a few laps of the ice waving Canadian flags and saluted the crowd with one that combined both the Canadian and Italian flags.
