Stand up and cheer everybody! The Olympics Salt Lake City, 2002, men's ice hockey gold medal: Canada!" -- Bob Cole, CBC play-by-play broadcaster There was no iconic Paul Henderson moment, nor a Sidney Crosby golden goal, but Canada's 5-2 victory against the rival United States in the men's 2002 Olympic gold medal game wiped out 50 years of frustration for the nation that invented ice hockey. Canadians from coast to coast were whipped into a frenzy, with impromptu celebrations on streets like Granville in Vancouver, Yonge in Toronto, Ste-Catherine in Montreal, and Portage and Main in Winnipeg. Gold is the definitive chronicle of how the men of Team Canada made history. Marking 20 years since the momentous victory, Tim Wharnsby delivers the inside story of how Gretzky built the team and Pat Quinn got them to the gold medal, featuring exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and personnel. Readers will hear directly from Gretzky, Jarome Iginla, Joe Sakic, Steve Yzerman, and more in this thrilling and immersive narrative of Olympic triumph."-- |cProvided by Freading. 588 0 Publisher metadata. 600 10 Gretzky, Wayne,|d1961- 611 20 Olympic Winter Games|n(19th :|d2002 :|cSalt Lake City, Utah) 650 0 Hockey players|zCanada|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Hockey players|zUnited States|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Winter Olympics|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Hockey|xHistory|y21st century. 650 7 SPORTS & RECREATION / Hockey.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 914 frd00047620
