Vancouver Canucks is the only Canadian NHL team not to win the ultimate prize of hockey, the Stanley Cup. Fans of all other Canadian cities currently having NHL teams have had the great opportunity of celebrating their team bringing the Stanley Cup home once or several times. On the other hand no Canadian team has been successful in bringing the cup home since Montreal Canadians...

2010 Winter Paralympic games are coming to an end. With fresh memories of Winter Olympic games still around the city, there were fans cheering Paralympians at the venues and around downtown Vancouver and Whistler during last few days. Still, I can't help my self wondering whether we missed a great opportunity to truly embrace the Paralympics and showcase another historical event....

Canadian Paralympian Lauren Woolstencroft will be going for her fifth gold medal on Saturday at the Vancouver 2010 games to join an exclusive club with wheelchair racer Chantal Petitclerc and swimmer Stephanie Dixon. They are the Canadians who won most number of gold medals at a single Paralympics, Summer or Winter. On Friday, the alpine skier put Canada into a strong position...

Winning golf championships is nothing new for the former World No.1 Ernie Els. But this weekend's win at WGC-CA championship must me very special for him and his fans. It was his first PGA title in two years and only the second in 5 1/2 years. Looking at the near flawless four rounds he played at Doral, one can say it's only the first of many this seoson. This win is more impressive...

I know that some golf fans are lacking interest in current PGA Tour events due to the absence of their favourite player. For the past decade and a half, Tiger Woods has been a sensation not only in golf but also in all of sports. It's no surprise that many have developed an interest in the sport just because of him. But golf is not a one man show; it's been there for centuries...

Lengthiest road trip of NHL history came an end at Phoenix after the lengthiest regular season game we've seen recently. Although it ended up with a shootout loss to Coyotes, Canucks will be happy with their overall performance in the 14 game road trip with the 8-5-1 result. Given the poor results Canucks had on road this season (10-11-1 prior to this road trip), fans can have...

Critics didn't have good things to say about Canucks' lack of interest to strengthen their defense before Wednesday's trade deadline. But it didn't seem to bother players as they came hard on full strength Detroit Red Wings to win 6-3. It was an exciting game of hockey, worthy of watching start to finish. I try not to miss watching the hockey game every time Vancouver Canucks...

Canadian hockey superstar Sydney Crosby scored in overtime to hand Canada the victory of the Olympic hockey gold medal game against USA. The whole nation is elated and people poured in the streets to mark the greatest sporting moment of the history of Canada. The hockey gold medal put Canada clearly ahead of other countries with total 14 gold medals. No other nation has ever won...

Doesn't matter who will win the final gold medal of these winter games, both Canada and USA already had fairytale performances that will go into records books. USA has already matched the highest number of total medals ever won in a winter Olympics, while Canada has matched highest number of gold medals ever won by a country. Still many wonder who should get the credit as the...

When we approach the final day of the 2010 winter Olympics, history will be written for both the host country Canada and it's neighbour USA. Canada will secure (or match) the highest number of gold medals ever won by a country, while USA will win the highest number of total medals ever in a Winter Olympics. These are great achievements for both countries who were not considered...

After couple of amazing performances on the penultimate day of the Olympics, Canada secured the top position of the medals table. Canada now has 12 gold medals compared to Germany's 10 and USA's 9. Neither Germany nor USA will be able to catch Canada at the top with only 3 gold medals to go. Kevin Martin and his curling team are now pursuing the 13th gold medal for Canada to make...

Most of Canadians have now forgotten "Own the Podium" campaign, which was aimed at winning highest total medals for Canada. With most Canadian athletes trying to go for gold and step on the top of podium, many perished and failed to win any medals while others achieved their target. This turned 'Own the Podium' into 'Top of the Podium or No Podium' kind of a result. With USA collecting...

Canadian fans had to go through some anxious moments and bear few disappointments before enjoying some of the brightest Canadian moments of this Olympics. It was a roller coaster ride that ended up with 2 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals and securing the chance for gold in two other events. During past couple of weeks I watched Cheryl Bernard and Canadian ladies curling team...

When VANOC first introduced 2010 Olympic Mascots back in Nov 26th 2007, they were an instant sensation. Miga, Quatchi and Sumi became so popular among both kids and adults alike, those 3 amigos have become household names. And then there is Mukmuk; not an official mascot, just a sidekick. Vancouver games is the first to have a mascot sidekick. Introducing Mukmuk, VANOC said: "Mukmuk...

Within a pace of 3 days Canada's luck changed from desperation to jubilation. Canada was stunned by USA in much hyped hockey match on Sunday sending shock-waves across the host nation. But by the end of Wednesday, the chances of winning that ultimate gold medal in Men's Hockey seemed very much assured. The last few days were a wild ride for die hard Canadian fans. Not only because...

Martin Brodeur may arguably be the best goaltender on the planet, but for some reason GM Place (Now named Canada Hockey Place for the Olympics) has not been one of his lucky rinks during his 17 NHL seasons. It proved pivotal in the vital game against USA when Ryan Miller clearly outperformed Brodeur to win the game for Team USA. But on the other hand, backup goalie Roberto Luongo...

After a disappointing Day 9 at the Olympics, the whole Canada is now looking forward to one match up on Sunday afternoon. A match that won't bring any medals, it's for pride. Hockey is Canada's game. Canada invented it and Canada has always been the best at it. And as the national pastime, hockey is not just a sport for Canadians, it's the nations pride. But previous Olympics...
