This week's image depicts NHL legend Mario Lemieux celebrating Team Canada's Gold Medal in the 2002 Winter Olympics. At Salt Lake City, Lemieux recorded six points in five games, captaining the Canadians to an impressive 5-2 victory over the USA in the Gold Medal Game. It was the first Gold Medal Team Canada had won in 50 years, ending the country's longest drought in International play.

The Canadians are favored to take Gold again in Vancouver, hosting the Games for the first time since 1988. This time, Lemieux will not sport the Maple Leaf. Instead, Scott Neidermayer, a native of British Columbia, will serve as captain. The man who inherited Lemieux's captaincy in Pittsburgh, superstar Sidney Crosby (who lives with Lemieux), will make his first Olympic appearance.
