It has been 15 years since the so-called “lucky loonie” was buried at centre ice in the hockey arena during the Salt Lake City Olympics. The good-luck ritual continues at the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Loonies have been stashed in the sand at the beach volleyball court, in the rowing waters, even under the green of the 18th hole on the Olympic golf course.

An Ontario man who was helping build the pools in Rio doubled his offering, placing a toonie in the lining of the competition pool — where Canada has now scored six medals.

This is one of those silly little things that make me smile whenever I read about it.
