Olympic Loonie at the Hockey Hall (http://www.canoe.ca/2002GamesNews0202/mar8_loonie-cp.html)
An amazing coincidence was revealed Friday, when the coin that was surreptitiously buried in Olympic ice was added to a Hockey Hall of Fame exhibit honouring the Canadian men's and women's teams that won gold in Salt Lake City.
"I didn't know until looking at it today that it's a 1987 loonie," said Trent Evans, the Edmonton ice maker responsible for freezing the well-worn coin into the ice.
Canada's most memorable international hockey win since the 1972 Summit Series had been the Canada Cup triumph over the Soviet Union in Hamilton -- in 1987.
Sorry Mario, I just have to rub this in, seeing as your team is probably taking the cup this year. ;)
