STORYLINE:
The Vancouver Olympics ended in ecstasy for the host nation when the men''s ice hockey team defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime on Sunday to win the country''s record 14th gold medal.
Fans celebrated on the streets of downtown Vancouver after Sidney Crosby, Canada''s biggest star on the ice, scored the winning goal to set off the celebrations in the hockey-mad country.
Streets in central Vancouver erupted in cheers as tens of thousands of Canadians celebrated the win.
In the central Robson Square, big-screen sites televising the game and bars across the city were packed with revellers, most wearing Canada''s red-and-white colours.
Ariane Brunel, a Vancouver resident described the mood on the street after Crosby scored the gold medal winning goal after an American fightback which saw them level the match at two apiece with 25 seconds to go.
"We didn''t think we were going to win but it was okay at the end. Yeah, I think everyone is really excited," she added.
Canada entered the Vancouver Games without ever having won a gold medal on home soil, so to win their 14th gold in the national sport was the perfect ending to their golden olympics.
Canada finished at the top of the gold medal table with 14 gold, followed by Germany with 10.
The United States and Norway both scored nine.
The Americans, however, won the most medals overall with 37, followed by Germany with 30 and Canada with 26.
The previous record for golds at a single Olympics was the 13 won by Norway at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games and by The Soviet Union at the 1976 Innsbruck Games.
In one of the greatest hockey games in Olympic history, Canada''s collection of all-stars held off a young U.S. team that had upset the hosts 5-3 in round-robin play a week earlier.
That loss forced the Canadians to play an extra game to reach the gold medal match.
