Canada’s men’s hockey players are the most different of all our Olympians. They play always in the limelight. They make fortunes of money. They play a sport Canadians originated and have dominated. They expect and are expected to win. In Sochi, they played without arrogance, with no misdirected emotion. They were solidly, forcefully, smartly better than everyone else. Their gold medal win in the last Olympic event was the punchline to the story their Olympic teammates had been writing for 17 days. In Sochi, the men’s hockey team came to embody what we have become.

Okay… the team was great, back-to-back golds from the same core group of players… a core that probably will be favored to win a third-consecutive in four years time. I definitely would agree that Canadians should be proud.
But this seems a little overwrought. We’re talking about sports.
