Limited Time "Double Gold" Exhibit
The Hockey Hall of Fame is home to perhaps the most famous six ounces of hard rubber in hockey history. It's the historic puck Team Canada's Sidney Crosby slipped past US goalie Ryan Miller in overtime of the 2010 Olympic gold medal game.
The gold-medal-winning goal puck is on display alongside other artifacts from Canada's victorious men's and women's hockey teams, including Sidney Crosby's stick and gloves, Hayley Wickenheiser's jersey and much more in the HHOF's "Double Gold Exhibit."

Olympic Medals Collection
The limited-time "Olympic Medals Collection" at the Hockey Hall of Fame will be housed in the RBC Olympic exhibit within the Hall of Fame's World of Hockey Zone.
Discussions with The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland began back in 2007 regarding a medals loan arrangement that would open months prior to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.
Graciously, The Olympic Museum consented to the loan, marking the first time a complete collection of medals will ever appear outside of Europe. In total, there will be 140 medals from 47 Olympic Games showcased. The Precious Medals Display runs only until September 6, 2010, don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The recently expanded World of Hockey provides an unparalleled tribute to international hockey, with an unrivalled collection of artifacts and media on display, including histories and exhibit materials from all 63 IIHF member countries.
One of the most significant refurbished areas is the IIHF Honour Roll, which pays homage to the finest players and executives from around the world.
The World of Hockey displays also cover the European leagues, the many current and historical international tournaments, the World Cup of Hockey, the Canada Cup as well as other significant worldwide hockey events.
With the rapid growth and popularization of women's hockey, a Women's International Hockey display pays tribute to this aspect of the sport, including coverage of the Women's World Championships and the women's debut at the 1998 Oympic Winter Games at Nagano.

THE LUCKY LOONIE - A surprising talisman helped bring good luck to Team Canada's Women and Men as both won Olympic gold medals at the 2002
Winter Games. The 'Lucky Loonie' had been secretly buried beneath the centre ice faceoff dot at the arena in Salt Lake
City by the Canadian icemakers. During your visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame, remember to touch the coin yourself to share in some of its good fortune.
