Toronto mayor Rob Ford pleased with ice hockey win

Toronto mayor Rob Ford has said that ice hockey defines Canada, following their success in the sport at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The controversial politician celebrated the gold-medal match win over Sweden with fans in a sports bar in the city.

The 44-year-old told reporters: "This is what Canada's all about, it's hockey right? When people say how do you define Canada, I say, wait until there's a hockey game."

Canada beat Sweden 3-0 in the final to win back-to-back Olympic titles.
