It was a fantastic moment. Everyone was watching the game and the country really felt united. Some of the streets they showed were actually closed down so people could watch the game and celebrate. It's kind of a tradition to gather with friends, family or go to a bar with either one and drink and watch the game with strangers. If you're ever here when there's an Olympic game going on and especially between the US and Canada, I'd suggest you to a bar and have a drink and watch the game with Canadians. It's definitely passionate. I know people who had to work but the employers would put the game on a tv so people could still watch it. It was that important. I'm not sure if this is true but there's also a rumour that people missed their flights because they wanted to watch the game.

[@JoeIsOut2lunch]

It was my annual birthday ice fishing party and the owner of the ice hut I was renting brought a generator onto the ice and a small antenna TV. I stepped into the hut just as the goal was scored. Absolutely Epic.

[@zakomama6430]

I lived an hour away from where this game was taking place. I get goosebumps every time I see a video reacting to it or of the game itself. You should watch the video where it's 16 different broadcasts of The Golden Goal. It's interesting to see how other countries reacted to it.

I was working in a grocery store at the time and we were giving goal updates over the intercom to the whole store. During overtime myself, 9 other employees, our boss and 7 customers were watching the game in a group huddled around a little 4 inch television in the loading dock. When Sid scored we all went nuts, my boss ripped open a case of Coke and we all toasted to the win while singing the national anthem. One of the best Canadian moments of my life ☺

Canada has beaten the US in hockey many times, but to do it in your home country in a super-successful Olympics is extra-special.

[@theeteecee]

This is the best story ever!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! I'd recommend looking up videos that record before & after the goal from around the country, & if I'm not mistaken, Canadians from around the world & soldiers serving in wars. It's crazy, chilling, fantastic, & nothing I've ever seen, witnessed or ever been a part of. For half an hour I'd guess, all you could hear was at first just a steady roar. You could feel it. Then, for probably another hour a constant, vibrant humm, and probably for the next 20 hours or more you would hear someone woohooing, singing Oh Canada, chanting CA NA DA!! CA NA DA!! I'm from BC, so there were a lot of "LOOOOUUUU'S" - they were chanting that, because Roberto Luongo was Team Canada's goalie that game & he was also the goalie for the NHL team from BC, the Vancouver Canucks. Sorry (so Canadian of me) hockey, Olympic hockey & Vancouver Canucks are topics I can get carried away with. :/

[@tomsawyer2768]

We as Canadians expect to win every Olympic or Junior in Hockey( both men’s and women’s ! Our team gets together 3 or 4 days before it starts and must jell as a team! Teams like Russia and USA HAVE national programs and their teams usually have much more time as do a lot of European teams ( some are together all year some player for several years) Canada usually has enough really good players to stock at least two teams however but injury’s can play a part for every team!! The Best such event was the Summit Series back in1972! When the USSR CAME OVER TO PLAY 4 games in Canada then 4 in Russia- for 8 games! Unexpectedly Russia went ahead 3 win to 1, in Canada. Then there was a tie game then Canada win 3 in a row to win 4 wins to 3 ! No one new but RUSSIA had a great team and had been playing together for quite awhile! Canadians were stunned and some were really ragging on our team but what a Party when they won! The games over there were in the middle of the night😅! Lots of us got to miss some morning classes to get some sleep! I think there was like 21 million in Canada and they estimate 15 million watched it! I only ever met like two people that never watched it ! Hockey Canada started taking training more skills and better trading from beginning hockey plays all the way up and into Major Junior Hockey ! There have been several Olympic when NHL would not allow teams to let their players go, so junior players and a few pros playing in Europe went !

[@vikrim1]

Great story! I love that this kind of thing happened all over the country. As he said sports is one of the few things if not the only thing that brings everyone from all walks of life together, even if only for a moment.

[@timezero8409]

This was not only a great moment in Canadian hockey history. It was the moment Canada made history by breaking the all-time Winter Olympic record of 13 gold medal won by a single nation. Men's hockey is always the last thing that happens in Winter's Olympics, we won the record breaking 14th gold medal in the last possible moment! 😊

[@Slush_]

To add on to that, this was our third time hosting the Olympics as a nation (Winter 1988 in Calgary and Summer 1976 in Montreal), but despite Canada being a historically strong Olympic performer (we're 12th in all time medal count, 5th in the Winter Olympics), we had failed to win a single gold medal on home soil in either previous Canadian Olympics. On our third try in 2010, not only did Alex Bilodeau break the curse, but we broke that total gold record which had stood since the USSR won 13 in 1976 (tied by Norway in 2002, Norway also recently broke that record with 16, cross country skiing has a lot of events 😂). But claiming that untied record with a home soil hockey gold? Pure magic.

[@alexisnoonan1970]

Plus, we beat the US again. 😂😂😂

[@marklittle8805]

A friend of mine was on an airplane coming home ....he said the pilot came on the intercom to give them updates as they were flying home to Toronto . He said the USA tied the game and the plane booed. 22 minutes later he came on and said "Fear not. Crosby in OT, we will have a golden landing" and the plane roared. Canada playing for Gold in International hockey draws the nation together. Hockey is our game...we shared it with the world but in the end; We see it as our birthright

[@th3n3wc4d]

Canadians are quietly patriotic at best, with 2 exceptions. Americans and Hockey. This was huge, as a Canadian it was something you shared with all of your fellow Canadians and took immense pride in, what a crazy day and a perfect ending to one of the most intense games of any sport in history.

The game captured an 85 share, meaning 85% of Canadians watching television at the time were watching the gold medal match. The game also delivered a 49.8 rating, meaning nearly half the Canadian population watched the entire game on average.

As an American, it was hard to see the USA lose but Canada is a huge hockey country so it seemed appropriate. Also I’m a huge Sid Crosby fan as he plays for my Pittsburgh (PA) team the Penguins and I loved that if Canada was going to win, Sid was the one to do it. He’s an amazing hockey player and quite the ambassador for the sport.

[@blainegurrie7525]

The entire nation watched that and celebrated. Horns honked all night in my neighbourhood on Vancouver Island. We love that team and we give out hearts to any who wear the Jersey of this country. It was fitting that Jerome Iginla set up Sid the kid for the most important since Henderson scored his iconic goal against the Soviets. Jerome doesn't get enough respect for his work here, he was a beast of a player.

[@shcramlyfaction8984]

Jarome Iginla was an amazing player and is an amazing human being too! I'm a Calgarian so I watched him MANY times live, and he is an absolute LEGEND in Calgary! He would be a great player for Mert to see as well! From his fights to his goals, and his general presence on the ice! Also one of the top scorers of all time! I loved that he set up that Golden Goal for Sid with his hard work and savvy hands. I'll NEVER forget that moment!

Jerome was one of the last true statesmen of hockey, ranking up there with guys like Joe Sakic and Trevor Linden - sportsmen, leaders and nothing but class. We don't have anyone left in the sport like that (like him or not, while Crosby is definitely destined for the HoF I don't see him as that type of player).

I remember we struggled to find a bar that wasn't already at capacity. When we finally found one, we dared not move. When Crosby scored, every person in every establishment on the block flooded into the streets cheering and celebrating and it ended with the whole block singing O Canada. It was such a magical feeling to be a part of and still makes me emotional when I watch clips like this.

[@nucks4cup75]

One thing that added to the celebration that was missed. Just before the overtime goal, the US broke into the Canadian zone with a great play that forced Luongo to make a medal saving save for the ages. As the play was developing you could feel the entire country just drop in anticipation of the goal that would once again rob them the elusive gold medal. But Luongo came out of nowhere to make the save. The puck made it's way into the American zone and Canada scored to close the most successful Olympics (not just hockey, but all sports) in Canadian history. It truly was a moment I'll never forget.

We really had a blast with the Olympics. Vancouver was one huge party. Both the men's and women's hockey teams took the gold. Only time I recall any other hockey final so spellbinding for Canadians was the 1972 Canada-Russia series. Vancouver is my home town and we did the Games proud. Even curling was loud and enthusiastic. The hockey was especially sweet as it was against the arch rival US(a love/hate realtionship depending on situation) and on Canadian ice. The medals for our Games were stunning West Coast First Nations artwork. People often say we are polite and dull but scratch the surface and then you see the real Canucks. Brings tears to my eyes even now. It was one hell of a party!

[@c_hanley]

Putting this into Scottish footy terms. This was an old firm game-cup final atmosphere. Canada and the US have a rivalry as old as the sport itself, and winning gold against them in Vancouver was the most special hockey memory I have. Unfortunately the Canucks couldn’t replicate this magic in 2011 lol.

This was one of the last great hockey moments that me and my grandfather shared together before his passing on December 2 2010 due to a heart attack. Even tho I was 7 years ago when this game happened I will remember that whole game, day and the day after at school for the rest of my life, me my dad my mother and my grandfather were watching the game together at my house we all figured that this game will be a overtime game and so overtime happened when Crosby scored the golden goal we all celebrated our Entire small community that we lived in was so loud that you could hear the noise all the way to town square in the next community. The next day we had school all of the hockey boys which included me all started celebrating and having fun plus when we had to sing the national anthem before class started you could hear everybody sing it and add on top of it all of the first and second classes got canceled so we could all watch the game again. I have the picture of the whole team holding their gold medals on my wall which I spend all of my money on in 2014 this is more then just a moment for hockey and sports this was a moment for the whole country I would go on to say that this is the second greatest moment in Canadian sports history

The players want it but the league wants players insured by the IIHF or Olympics and there is the matter of use of Olympic content with the NHL which has always been at issue.

Watching this game as a 9 year old girl who had falling in love with the game of hockey on a few years prior to this is a memory I will always remember. It’s something that every Canadian will always remember getting to win the gold medal against USA on home soil is something that no one can ever forget. We were on the east coast so this game was a late on for us and I remember everyone being allowed to stay up to watch this game even on a school night because it is seriously such an incredible moment to have been able to witness

[@VictorRomeo1917]

was in my livingroom screaming & swearing my head off, then when Crosby scored you could hear ppl in my apartment building yelling, car horns on the street, was fuckin' amazing. It was pure joy, pure, heart thumping joy. I cried.

[@davenoppe5405]

I was downtown Vancouver when Sid scored. It was incredible 🎉

[@DirteeBloo]

I am Canadian and in Vancouver. Was there in 2010 and it was insane!!! Im tearing up watching the footage. Thats how much it meant. lol Meant the world for all Canadians.

[@MIRRORIMAGEWORLD]

When the Americans scored in the third I had to step outside, I live in a big city right on a busy street and there were no cars, zero! The whole city was quiet, I could see in peoples windows that everyone had the game on. After the winning goal the street went crazy, people running around with Maple Leaf Flags, screaming and hugging everyone. It was truly a defining experience to know that everyone felt the same exhilaration and relief. What a game, what a day and what a shared moment in time. Peace.

[@CanadianBandito]

Born and raised Canadian, but now live in the states. I was surrounded by the enemy that day and it was so great to feed some of them their humble pie when Sid scored the golden goal! 😁

[@coachave87x]

It still brings a smile to my face and pride to my heart. I grew up half-watching hockey with my family, but this olympics really made me love the game!

[@Leannabananaism]

Never forget Iginla's pass!!!❤️

[@vagabond142]

4:23 encapsulates Canada in a short 5 second video. It doesn't matter the color of your skin, your religion, or anything, when that goal was scored, everyone in the country went mental. I love the sikh guy absolutely losing his mind, the guy on the right hand side doing pogo jumps, and the bigass "CANADA" sign on the left :D That's Canada, through and through, and why it's so awesome to live here :)

[@myriam8190]

In terms of great celebrations, the Raptors’ NBA championship in 2019 was amaaaaazing. The whole of Canada was celebrating!

[@Kettle700]

Hey, I've really been enjoying all of your hockey reactions, thanks for doing them! You might enjoy watching this video on your own, it's the sound of Vancouver from across the water when Crosby scored the overtime goal. The goal is at 1:18 or so, it's a really cool way to see such a memorable moment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j37Zd6Kfra17abc

[@Mpreece7]

I was in Korea and it was the wee hours and I was sitting on my bed with my laptop absolutely losing my mind as quietly as possible 🤣 got to celebrate with the other Canucks at work a few hours later! The footage of Vancouver right before the goal when it’s silent and then you just hear the noise swell! Chills! Beating the US was huge, it’s always the best to beat them. Winning the Olympic gold at home, massive! Even non-hockey fans were pulled in. I wish I’d been home watching with family but I’ll always remember sitting on my bed glued to my laptop 😂 Crosby is a national treasure even though I hate him when he’s not wearing the maple leaf! (Rival NHL team!)

[@marcpelu2558]

One of the best sports memories of my life 🇨🇦

[@kimheffernan5511]

Best moment. My sons were 11 and 12 watching this eating pizza and we lost our minds!

[@Northerngirl15]

Hockey is huge in Canada, we all have our respective teams that we cheer for, the fan bases actually hate each other most of the time lol, but when Canada is playing for gold we all come together united. I’ll never forget where I was with my friends in a bar just east of Toronto when Crosby yelled “Iggy” and potted the winner !! What an incredible way to top off the Vancouver Olimpics.

[@TheZeldaHeart]

I wasn’t in the video, but when this game was happening, my hockey team was away for the finals of our League to send us to the national championships. We were sat with the opposing team watching the game refusing to start the game until we saw what happened. When the goal was scored both teams celebrated together. We then went onto the ice to pummel each other. Magical moment for sure.

[@willashley612]

This was one of my greatest memories growing up. I also remember the 2012 women's IIHF World Championships when Canada came back to tie it up in the 3rd against USA and it went to overtime where Canada won it. Canada was not favoured to win, so winning it was all the more memorable. But with 15mins left of the third all the teachers in our 1,200 person high school let us leave class and go to the gym or the library to watch the game with everyone else. The tying goal and overtime winner was celebrated like crazy. Letting all the students watch it together really made it memorable and it felt just as good as this one.

[@davefost]

As others have said, there is no win better than the 72 Summit Series between the Soviet Union and Canada. There is so much history involved in this series... essentially a cold war battle staged on the hockey rink. So many famous names... Karlamov, the incredible Tretiak... and a veritable who's who of the golden age of Canadian hockey.

[@toryjames5084]

During the game CBC showed a shot of Young St. In Toronto. Not one soul was driving or walking on Canada’s otherwise busiest street. Just a few pidgins hanging out. A friend of mine was a pilot for Air Canada. He told me flights were delayed all over the country because people would not leave the TV’s in the lounges and board the planes…

[@Goats22]

There is a video someone recorded from the water that day and when Crosby scores you can literally hear the entire city explode. That was one of the best days of my life. We watched the game at a pub in North Van and headed straight downtown after we won

[@Slush_]

I was 11 when this happened, I had chills down my spine this whole video. It's been 13 years, this still matters deeply to Canadians. This game was on a Sunday, but living in Vancouver we would have days off school for some of the preceding Team Canada hockey games. Church services were delayed to watch this game.

[@ljawshl]

Canada was Absolutly stacked in terms of players, NHL, and Former NHL players, I miss the Olympics having NHL players in it. Crosby Screaming "IGGY IGGY" still gives me chills, i was at a bar with my friends and the whole bar went silent during OT just faint whispers, Then it just exploded with screams and cheers

[@andrewmagee2544]

It was an unofficial holiday. As you can see, anyone who didn't work near a TV was "sick" that day. Full classrooms, even full schools were watching. Such an amazing moment.

[@andrewsutherland3293]

Greatest Canadian sports moment ever. Nothing else mattered. Any divisions we had as people were on pause and it was pure celebration and joy. A truly unifying Canadian movement.

[@ashleybisson2491]

The entire Vancouver Olympics was an incredible vibe. This was the cherry on top and the ENTRIE country watched and celebrated together. I was with my family in our livingroom, and we celebrated loudly together, then with our neighbors outside. It was a wonderful powerful, awesome moment.

[@logwog1991]

I lived in Vancouver at that time and after their goal I ran outside my house and you could hear the roar all over the city. Great win

[@GuyDemong]

I live in Vancouver, but was in LA on my honeymoon for the semi-final game as well as this one. Watched the semi-final surrounded by every Canadian in the area at ESPN Disney, and then this one at a friend's place (another Canadian). We've won Olympic gold's before and since, but this one was special - both for being in Canada, being played against the US, going to overtime and having Sidney Crosby score off a pass from Jerome Iginla. Watching this now - I still get overcome with emotion; it was one of those transcendent moments that united the entire country.

[@harrycooper5231]

Vancouverite here, watched the game downtown broadcast on the side of a building. The best part was looking around at the crowd. Every ethnicity was represented, all sporting Team Canada gear. My favourites were the black turbans with Team Canada logo on the front. IMO that Olympics was an important event that helped bring all Canadians together.

[@jenncrossfield5202]

It was a pinnacle of a great Olympics-Vancouver 2010. It was a love fest from everyone! Most people were cheering on Canada and yes the ground moved in Vancouver 😂! Wonderful times for our country and the world! ❤️

[@TheTeresaPaul]

13 years later, still makes me cry! I didn't see this in your video, but the reaction of Gretzky sent shivers done my spine. Thank you for the memories, we love you Sid!🇨🇦

[@mrrobotzarow691]

Watching this actually brought tears to my eyes. I will remember that moment for all of my life. And yes, as a Canadian winning Olympic gold for hockey is the greatest achievement anyone can ever hope for

[@hexmusicofficial]

Back at 2010, i was 14. Was at a watch party, dressed with a red and white canada shirt. Watching sid, our golden boy score at overtime, was intense. I've never heard everyone scream as loud as everyone did. And in vancouver, my hometown. I remember running out of the house, freaking out, while other people followed, freaking out as well. Outside, fireworks were being fired, cars were honking, people were screaming in the distance. Literally everyone was one on that day. Was crazy.

[@starpetalarts6668]

Fun Fact this year Canada almost perfected the Worlds Hockey. We had gotten gold in U18 Women's, Men Juniors, Men Nationals, and we almost won in Women's World. We placed Silver. so close...

[@kevinhill4190]

I was working at my local gas station in my early 20's when this game was on, I had the broadcast going on this crappy old radio they gave us behind the counter. Some customers started staying in the station because they didn't want to miss any of the game, and when the Golden Goal happened, the place went absolutely wild. Unforgettable moment for Canadians! Love your content, hope you keep it going for a long while!

[@DeeDee-oy2dw]

I was watching the game in a condo building in downtown Vancouver that day and every time a goal was scored every one was out on their balconies ringing bells and cheering. When that goal happened the city just roared. It really was an incredible moment. I’m so happy I got to be here for it 😊

[@grizzlybear4499]

This was a wonderful reaction. Have you ever seen the Opening Ceremonies of these Olympics? I would highly encourage you to give them a watch, whether you make a reaction to it or not. It was an extremely important part of Canadian history and it brings me great pride, as an Indigenous person in Canada, to watch them still to this day.

[@ohsnapitysnapz]

as a Canadian i still remember sitting at McDonald's in vancouver watching it on the tvs and hearing the whole place uproar in excitement I was 14 and it will go down as one of the greatest moments i experienced and one of the main reasons i became a die hard hockey fan, im sure 95% of Canadians will agree this is prob the #1 moment in sports for Canada

[@ohsnapitysnapz]

2014 was the last olypmics to have the nhl players in it so it makes the last couple olympics even more important, we prob will never see the nhl players in the Olympics again

[@mazdaman0075]

We were watching it in our basement as a family and when Sid scored I grabbed my 13 year old son in my arms and swung him around for about 1 minute. Best ever Canadian sporting moment for me (born in Scotland and moved to Canada at 12 years old). The only other one that was close was winning the Olympic hockey gold in Salt Lake in 2002. It's funny, I was not worried when the US tied it up, I remember being very calm during the intermission before overtime as I just somehow knew we were going to win and I knew that winning in overtime would feel incredible.

[@lizturner267]

Imagine Scotland winning the World Cup against England….that’s the feeling! I was in Las Vegas during the game in a bar in the Venetian Hotel filled with Americans. Our enthusiasm brought them so much joy, a bar full of Americans stood with us as we belted out Oh Canada!

[@KillerSniper55]

This was one of the greatest moments in Canadian sports history. I saw a statistic that said approx. 95% of Canada was watching this game.

[@Canadagraphs]

HAHA, WTF 6:17 thats my video. I never knew till now someone used it for anything. It was at the Beatty Street Grill, and I remember having to get there almost 3 hrs before the game just to get a spot, because most of the big bars were "sold out" for spots. So I got real lucky, especially considering that bar is a 90 second walk from the arena. It was a wild day & night.

[@TiltedJesterStudios]

Man

[@joshlamers]

Quite possibly the greatest moment in Canadian sports. Still gives me goosebumps watching that video.
