Alex Bilodeau's historic gold medal at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver would prove to be the first of many golden moments as Canada defined itself as a competitive force at the Olympic Games.

Canada easily earned its best decade of Winter Paralympics results ever, and capped it off by blowing away the previous single Games record with 28 medals in Pyeongchang. Its 10 gold medals in Vancouver still stands as the national mark. Oh, and there were 60 Summer Paralympics medals mixed in, too.

Montreal's Brendan Gallagher has heard the doubters most of his hockey life, but true to his trademark smile, the Canadiens forward chooses to focus on the folks who breathe positivity into his life.
