Just thought I'd point out that there was another great Croatian 
participating at the 2002 Olympics; that's Joe Sakic playing for Team 
Canada in the Olympic Ice Hockey tournament. What a year Joe has had, 
personally winning the 2001 Hart, Lady Byng and Lester Patrick trophies, and 
topping it off with the Stanley Cup with his Colorado Avalanche team, and 
now an Olympic gold medal and a tournament MVP honour. He also scored the 
game-winning goal in the gold medal game! He is the all-time franchise 
leader for the Colorado Avalanche in goals, assists and points; and has been 
an NHL All-Star 9 times! Not to mention that he is one of the nicest 
professional athletes anywhere, and one that he is both aware and proud of 
his Croatian origin.
