The Winning Moment

Last night at the Olympic Games in Vancouver the
Canadian Women's Hockey Team defeated the
United States Women's Hockey Team by a score
of 2-0. This was the Gold Medal game so the gold
will go to the Canadians and the U.S.A. will have to
settle for silver.
It was after the game that has the media stirred
up. The Canadian women lit up cigars and broke out
some beer to celebrate the victory. If this had been
the men celebrating a win, it would not have even
caused a wink of notice...BUT these were women! One
note of concern is that the legal drinking age in Canada
is 19 and one member of the hockey team is only 18
and she is in the photos toasting the moment.
If you have ever participated in a winning event in
sports, you know the elation of the moment. This is a
time these women will remember and be passing along
to their grandchildren....and they will have these photos
to prove they are not just exaggerating. Although much
larger in geographical size, Canada has to take a backseat
to her neighbor to the south in a lot of different areas...
but winning a gold medal in the Olympic Games is NOT one
of them. Seize the moment Ladies.. it was a great win!!
Light 'em up and pop the top on another brew!!!
