Reflection
Olympic hockey is exciting, competitive, and fast paced I love watching the Olympics every 4 years in hope that team Canada will win gold. I think that the reason why Canada does phenomenal in hockey Olympics is because Canada has 1 main sport which is played in every province. Ice hockey is more than just a sport in Canada which is why every Canadian who has ever put on the Canadian jersey is proud to represent their country. With the most recent success team Canada has had i think that Canada will win gold in Sochi 2014 Olympics. The Canadian mens national ice hockey team makes me proud to be Canadian because of the success they have had.
