Puck in gold-medal game heads to Hall of Fame

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The gold-medal puck is going to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Sidney Crosby used it to score the game-winner in the 3-2 overtime thriller against the U.S. in the Olympic final on Feb. 28.

It will be displayed at the Hall in Toronto.

"I am happy to see that the puck is going to the Hockey Hall of Fame," Crosby said in a statement Tuesday. "I feel very lucky to have been part of that team and that game as well, and I am glad hockey fans will get the chance to share the moment by seeing things like the overtime-winning puck up close."

After the game, officials accidentally shipped the puck to the International Ice Hockey Federation offices in Switzerland.

The IIHF, along with the Vancouver Olympic organizers, decided it would go to the Hall of Fame.
