US National team coach Kevin Orr often likes to end his posts on the USQRA Rugby Forum with "Expect the unexpected," which is good little credo, although last night it wouldn't have been too appropriate.  Last night, as expected, the Canadian men's and women's olympic hockey teams steamrolled through the opposition to capture both "Team of the Year" awards at the 30th annual Canadian Sport Awards.  The Olympic win by the men ended a 50-year golden drought in Canada's winter national sport.  The women overcame an 8-straight set of losses to the dominant US Olympic team, before getting the job done when it counted.

Full results from the gala, which is Canada's most prestigious set of awards for *ahem* amateur sports are available on the Globe and Mail's web site. 

The world champion Canadian men's wheelchair rugby team was represented by co-captain Dave Willsie, his wife Dodie McCoy, and CWSA Executive Director, Cathy Cadieux.
