PG’s Cooper bringing home silver from Olympics

It’s not the medal Canada wanted, but Prince George Product and Canada men’s hockey Head Coach Jon Cooper is bringing home some hardware from Milano-Cortina.

Jack Hughes broke 41 million hearts, scoring the golden goal to lift the United States to a 2-1 Olympic gold medal victory over Canada.

Matt Boldy opened the scoring for the Americans in the first period, but Cale Makar found the back of the net in the second.

Canada outshot the Americans 42-28, but ran into an incredibly hot goaltender in Connor Hellebuyck.

Sidney Crosby did not play for Canada in the loss, after being injured earlier in the tournament.
