The fact that there was a loonie at centre ice during the Salt Lake City Olympics only makes the double gold that much sweeter.I loved reading about how the loonie came to be as well as how the Canadian teams perceived it. This story is for the true Canadian Hockey fan and will remain a legend for years to come. I devoured this short read of Canadian history in one sitting.
