Fact: The 2014
Canadian Men's Olympic Gold Medal winning team got together in the off season prior to the Olympics
to play ball hockey. This, off season conditioning and 'get to know" your line-mates in- action activity, helped the Canadians to having a dominant tournament, where they lost not one game, and incredibly, allowed only 3 goals against.
Some say it was the best performance by a Canadian team ever.
I say, Car!
Kids, now is your opportunity to get into the mix and maybe one day becoming an Olympian yourself on
