Posted - 09/15/2004 : 11:15:23 Congratulations to the Canadian Team for winning the 2004 World Cup of Hockey! I think that the mix of vets and young talent was the key. If you look at the Canadian Olympic team in 2002 they were much older and although they won they really struggled. This 2004 younger team was in command all the way (with a few hick-ups). Quite honestly I think Canada could have fielded 2 teams and faired just as well. Atta boy Vinnie!
