the most interesting (and possibly strange) thing i saw while watching global news @ 5:30. claire martin (our weather girl) showed the viewers an interesting "beer cooler" from nova scotia (they had a major snowstorm last month - got 95cm). in the doorway you could see beer cans and beer bottles in the snowdrift. the homeowners had decided totake advantage of the deep snow and "invent" their beer cooler. quite the sight. looking forward to prairie pickin' and survivor tonite. a fun thursday for sure.
Ice hockey at the 1980 winter Olympics
This tournament went from February 12-24, 1980. 12 teams played. The Olympic Fieldhouse and Olympic Arena hosted the games. Canada hockey team returns and finishes 6th. Tournament best remembered for the "miracle on ice" as the United States beat the Soviet Union before beating Finland to win gold. They had also beat Czechoslovakia and tied Sweden. Their roster fielded exclusively amateur players. The United States, as mentioned, won gold, Soviet Union the silver and Sweden the bronze. Next is the 1984 tournament in Sarajevo Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦).
