Hypothetical All-Ontario Dream Team

This may not be that surprising but 11 of the 25 players chosen for the national men’s team, 11 of the 21 from the national women’s team and 12 of the 20 national sledge hockey players call Ontario home. Nonetheless, it made us wonder.

 

Stay up to date with these cool apps:

 

Olympic Hub: An official app from the International Olympic Committee, it collects athletes' social media posts from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter into one feed. A recent check of Canadian posts showed snowboarder Derek Livingston sharing a picture of his acupuncture treatment and hockey player Caroline Ouellette treating herself to some chocolate cake in the days leading up to the Games.

A list of the Canadian Olympians who will be tweeting can be followed here.


Medal Alert: Another IOC app, it offers a schedule of events and allows users to sign up for alerts every time Canada (or any other country) wins a medal. CBC's app has a similar feature and can also send alerts for breaking news, final scores in hockey games and curling matches, or daily summaries. (iOS and Android)

Visa 360 Cam: This app is pretty gimmicky and only worth using once or twice but it is fun to play with. It gives users a close-up look at what it's like to compete in a few Olympic sports. Users can choose a number of different camera angles to watch training runs in alpine skiing, freestyle ski halfpipe, freestyle ski aerials, ski jumping, hockey, figure skating and ice dancing.
