Olympic Hockey Starting Soon!!

Yes yes, so I was watching the Super Bowl yesterday, and I kept seeing the Ads for the Olympics (tell me that wasn't overkill... I swear, every 5 mins we're seeing the CTV Olympics Ads with the "da dana-naaaa").

Anyway, one of them said "Friday", and I realized that we're going to be having some crazy Olympic hockey soon! To me it's basically multiple NHL All Star Games, except the teams are Countries!! Oh yes.. This is what we wait for!

Ok, the other events are great as well, but Hockey, that's key, at least for me.

So I looked up the Schedule for Team Canada, just in case you were curious:

PS: The picture is of Mario Lemieux (the greatest hockey player ever) and his Team Canada brotheren after they won the gold in 2002.

If you don't know which person is Mario, he's the one with the "C" on his chest!  And shame on you!
