Olympic Hockey Results: Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Hockey
|
Congratulations to the Canadian Men's hockey teams for winning GOLD at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Hockey Tournament! The men's tournament in ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, February 16 to 28, 2010. Games were hosted at two venues, Canada Hockey Place (renamed from "General Motors Place" for the Olympics) and UBC Thunderbird Arena. It was the fourth time since the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano that National Hockey League players have been eligible to compete. These Olympics were the first to take place in a city with an NHL team since then. Teams representing twelve national hockey associations were competing, seeded into three groups for the preliminary round. The tournament consisted of 30 games: 18 in the preliminary round (teams played the other teams in their own group); 4 qualification playoff games; 4 quarter-final games; 2 semi-final games; 1 bronze-medal game; and 1 gold-medal game. During the tournament, Teemu Selänne of Finland became the all-time leader for points scored in the Olympics. He notched an assist in his second game of the tournament for 37 career points, surpassing Valeri Kharlamov of the Soviet Union, Vlastimil Bubnik of Czechoslovakia, and Harry Watson of Canada. Sweden's goaltender Henrik Lundqvist set a modern-day Olympic shutout streak record of 172 minutes and 34 seconds, continuous from the final of the gold medal game of the 2006 Olympics until Sweden's quarterfinal against Slovakia. In the gold medal game, Sidney Crosby scored the game-winning goal in overtime for Canada in a 3-2 win against the United States Men's Olympic Hockey Leading Scorers
