General Motors - Olympic Sponsor With 4,600 Vehicles In Vancouver


General Motors supplied 4,600 vehicles for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and you see them everywhere frequently. The Chevy Traverse along with the Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban and their hybrid and Flex-fuel versions are driving VIPs, Olympians and their families day and night. The above photo was taken at 11pm. on Georgia Street in downtown Vancouver. No hospitality tents just the vehicles for GM's role. The weather is spectacular - clear, sunny and too warm for some venues.


                             Team Canada Celebrates Shoot Out Win Over Switzerland

The hockey arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks was known for years as GM Place, not now. The host of the men's Olympic hockey games is now Canada Hockey Place where yesterday Team Canada needed a shootout goal to defeat the impressive Swiss team who had the game tied 2-2 after overtime on the amazing goaltending of Jonas Hiller of the Anaheim Ducks who stopped 44 of 46 shots before the shootout.
