Des hommes en or : les Falcons de Winnipeg de 1921

En 1920, des équipes de hockey de tout le Canada se sont affrontées pour avoir le privilège de représenter leur pays aux Olympiques. Ce sont les Falcons de Winnipeg, un petit groupe d’inconnus aux mille talents, qui en sont ressortis ultimement vainqueurs. Composés de joueurs d’origine islandaise, les Falcons ont dû essuyer de nombreux préjugés de la part des autres équipes de hockey canadiennes, qu’ils ont tout de même facilement vaincues pour se donner accès aux Olympiques. Les joueurs ont fini par se forger une reconnaissance internationale quand l’équipe a fait du Canada le premier pays de l’histoire olympique à remporter une médaille d’or en hockey. Après des débuts modestes, son amour pur pour le hockey a catapulté l’équipe vers la victoire et une renommée internationale.
