Gilles Villeneuve
"Gilles Villeneuve was the fastest driver in the history of motor racing..." - Jody Scheckter. He should know, as should all proud Canadians know it. Here's a great article on one of the most colourful Canadian champions ever: Gilles Villeneuve

Mike Weir
On April 13, 2003, Mike Weir had the biggest day in Canadian golf history. Playing against the world's top golfers in Augusta, Georgia, he outlasted them all to win the prestigious Masters Golf Tournament. In doing so, Mike achieved what no other Canadian male had ever done: won a major. In addition, he became the first left-hander to win a major in 40 years and the first lefty ever to win the Masters.

Brad Gushue
Brad Gushue used steady play and one spectacular end to win Canada's first-ever Olympic gold medal in men's curling. The 25-year-old skip and his St. John's-based rink of third Mark Nichols, second Russ Howard and lead Jamie Korab scored six in the sixth end to propel themselves to a 10-4 win over Finland in eight ends in the gold medal game in Pinerolo, Italy.

Jacques Villeneuve
Indianapolis 500 runner-up and IndyCar Rookie of Year in 1994; won 500 and IndyCar driving championship in 1995. Jacques Villeneuve jumped to Formula One racing in 1996 and won the F1 title in 1997.

Scott Niedermayer
Born in Edmonton, Scott won three Stanley Cups with New Jersey. In the 2006-07 NHL Season, Niedermayer already having established himself as one of the best defencemen in the NHL added a fourth Stanley Cup to his resume. Canadians rule hockey, even when they are not playing in Canada!

"We'll explain the appeal of curling to you if you explain the appeal of the National Rifle Association to us." Andy Barrie
