women's hockey

Hockey is supposed to be the pride and joy of the men of Canada. All that changed in the winter Olympics of 2010. The Women's Hockey team of Canada not only won gold but they also captured the hearts of millions of viewers around the world. The sport picked up much excitement with each entertaining game. The women of the gold team approached the sport with nothing to prove. They were out there to "compete and do what they loved to do." This notion of wanting to play as opposed to proving that they could play helped them. I thought this was interesting because usually the media only glorifies the sports in which women are scantly dressed and usually with no contact. This sport has the ladies all padded up and checking each other around. I would say this is a good sign of more good things to come in the future.
