Gold standard returns for Canada at Beijing Olympics
Canada’s hockey swagger is back at the Olympics. Four years after walking away with bronze after the NHL did not participate in the Games, Canada’s team in Beijing has remnants of the ones that won gold in 2010 and 2014 and a roster that looks capable of doing it again. Top player Eric Staal was in Vancouver, coach Claude Julien was on the staff in Sochi and the standard is again gold or bust.
