I was joined in viewing directly by my grandparents, 2 couples (have been close friends of the family for 50+ years) and my Canadian Clad daughter, who was waving her makeshift flag violently!!
I have always been proud of my Nationality, but more so these past 3 weeks. Canada has won the Olympics, both literally and figuratively. We have overcome challenges (no snow in Whistler), battled diversity (language barriers up the ying-yang) and have been victorious.
Now, on to my point. I have never been a "Sid the Kid" fan - until last night. I have been proud to say that he is from Nova Scotia, even HRM (Halifax Regional Mun.), but have never really jumped on the band wagon. What he accomplished last night was incredible. At the age of 22, he has a Stanley Cup ring on his finger and a Canadian Gold Medal around his neck. Not to mention bragging rights to scoring the Gold Medal winning goal.
So, from this point forth, I shall declare myself an official Sidney Crosby fan.
