Jonathan Toews is not yet 26 but already has played major roles in two Stanley Cup championships and two Olympic gold medals.
All four, in fact, have come in the past four years. He also boasts gold from two World Juniors and another from the 2007 Worlds. He scored the first goal in Canada's 3-0 triumph over Sweden in Sunday's gold medal match and further cemented himself as one of the defining - if not the defining - winners and crunch-time players of his generation. He was the best player on the biggest stage in Vancouver and remained right up there again this time around in Sochi. "He's a winner," said Team Canada defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. "Resume speaks for itself. Obviously a great leader. Plays the game the right way. Plays the game hard, every practice, every game. Great guy to learn from, great guy to follow."
