Opinion

Hockey Canada's Bob Nicholson during a Hockey Canada press conference Aug. 21, 2009 to provide updates and details for the upcoming National Men's Team orientation camp.

Athletes under too instense pressure to perform

It's distressing to see spectacular young Canadians like Mellisa Hollingsworth and Denny Morrison talk about letting their country down and the empty feeling after they failed to medal.
