TEAM CANADA FINAL 23: THEY DECIDE FROM HERE
29 December 2009
Could this be one of the most formidable Men’s Olympic Teams ever ?
With the announcement of the final Olympic Team Canada roster, the argument can be made that the talent pool on this team rivals any before it – perhaps even the 2002 team. This team is deep. It has speed, power and leadership. But will that be enough?
These athletes have only gotten this far because they know that they can't rely on talent alone. They can't leave it to destiny. There's no easy route to gold and these players know it. Wisdom gained through heartbreaking defeats and ecstatic victories. They know the difference between gold and silver is training -on and off the ice - spending countless hours fortifying their iron will and optimizing their performance.
And now they’re ready to prove they can get the job done.
In the end, this team and this team alone, will decide if they are the world’s best.
Only they can Force Fate.
The stage awaits.
The men who decide.
