SOCHI, Russia – For the second consecutive Olympic Winter Games, and third time in four tries, Canada has won the gold medal in both men’s and women’s hockey.

Canada’s National Men’s Team claimed its second straight gold medal with a 3-0 win over Sweden on Sunday, while Canada’s National Women’s Team made it four consecutive gold medals with a come-from-behind 3-2 overtime victory over the United States last Thursday.

It is the first time Canada has won back-to-back Olympic gold in men’s hockey since 1948 and 1952, and the first time any team has stood atop the podium at consecutive Games since the Soviet Union in 1984 and 1988.

Canada has now won nine Olympic men’s hockey gold medals (1920, 1924, 1928, 1932, 1948, 1952, 2002, 2010, 2014), more than any other country.

Canada won all six of its games in Sochi, the first time since the 1928 Olympic Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland that the Canadians went through the entire tournament without a loss or tie on its record.

A total of 95 CHL alumni competed in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games with three former CHL players earning silver with Sweden including Alexander Edler (Kelowna Rockets 2006), Gabriel Landeskog (Kitchener Rangers 2011), and Johnny Oduya (Victoriaville Tigres 2001).  Olli Maatta (London Knights 2013) was the only CHL graduate to win bronze with Team Finland in a 5-0 win over the United States on Saturday.

In addition, goaltender Shannon Szabados helped lead Canada’s Women’s Olympic team to a Gold medal.  Szabados played an exhibition game for the Tri-City Americans in 2002, alongside Carey Price.
