Winter Olympic Games and Crosby
Nazlie: Good evening and welcome to GARC news. This is Nazlie Najafi here with my partner Shannon Oliver and we’re coming at you with the fresh upbeat 2014 winter Olympic news.
Shannon: Today we will be focusing on hockey legend Sidney Crosby, who secured Canada’s record fourteenth gold medal of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics when he scored the golden goal.
Nazlie: The Team Canada roster has been released for the upcoming Olympic Games and it has been revealed that Crosby will represent Canada on the men’s ice hockey team in Sochi this February. This will be his second Winter Olympics that he has participated in and hopefully not the last.
Shannon: Not like that’s a surprise. Sidney has been dominating this season, and ranks first in the NHL, leading in both points and assists. In the previous Olympic games, Sidney scored four goals throughout the entire tournament.
Nazlie: The 1952 Winter Olympics would be the last time Canada would take home a gold medal for fifty years. This was a huge downfall for Canada, as in the men’s tournament Canada was the most successful team of the first three decades. We did not receive a gold medal in the sport until the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. We then followed up with another gold in 2010 thanks to Crosby himself.
Shannon: Crosby has had a bit of a hard time in the years since the last Olympics games in Vancouver. On the first of January in 2011, during the Winter Classic, Crosby received a hit from David Steckel, of the Washington Capitals. This hit resulted in his first reported concussion of his time in the NHL. Crosby didn’t return to full game action until mid-March 2012. This was nearly 14 months later, which was much of two seasons. This will be the biggest tournament that Crosby has participated in since the accident, but he is seeming to be 100 percent recovered and his game performance it back to its usual self in all of his games for quite some while. We hope that this will continue during
