Irwin says gold medal is a dream come true

Haley Irwin says it's better than she ever imagined. She says winning an Olympic gold medal as part of Canada's women's hockey team is extraordinary. They defeated the United States to capture the top prize. She says it's a dream come true, something she wished for when she was a little girl. The team felt some heat however from the International Olympic Committee for drinking beer on the ice while celebrating the victory. Irwin says the team came out and apologized, so for her, the situation is over and done with. Meantime she hopes to be back home in Thunder Bay this week.
