I had let the Globe and Mail know I’d be available to shoot any street celebrations/reaction to the men’s ice hockey gold medal game between Canada and the U.S. at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics yesterday. Well, sometime into the third period I got an email saying they had an open page and needed it covered. Gear and laptop a couple feet away, I ran out of my friends apartment in Gastown and across to the Lamplighter Pub with only seconds left in the game. Thank god a timeout was called and I showed up with time to spare. (Props to the bouncers at the Lamplighter for letting me in)

It was unbelievable feeling the energy in the bar and was a roller-coaster of emotion after a devastating goal the USA scored to tie it up, and an epic OT goal by Sidney Crosby to bring home the gold. Then I was off to Granville St. to document the huge crowds celebrating in the streets, I don’t think I have ever seen anything quite like it…..

I think the photos speak for themselves……An epic day for all Canadians, especially the huge hockey fans such as myself!!!!!!!!

And here’s how the photos got played…A3 and BC Section Front.
