For Hockey Canada, the only goal in the Olympics is gold. With 20 total medals, 13 of them gold, Canada is the most successful country in Olympic hockey. Both the women’s and men’s teams took home gold in Sochi and Vancouver — the previous two Winter Olympics. This year in PyeongChang, Canada will not have the help of NHL players like Sidney Crosby or Jonathan Toews, but they will have technology.
