The Vancouver Winter Olympics went out with a bang as the networks of NBC Universal and the Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium registered huge ratings in the final days of Games, highlighted by Team Canada’s 3-2 overtime victory against the U.S. in the gold medal men’s hockey game.

Sunday afternoon’s gold medal hockey game was the most-watched hockey game in 30 years, as NBC drew an average viewership of 27.6 million. That represents the most watched hockey broadcast of any kind since the USA vs. Finland 1980 gold medal game in Lake Placid in 1980 (32.8 million). For historical comparison, the “Miracle on Ice” USA-Russia semifinal game that aired on tape delay in 1980 from the Lake Placid Games drew 34.2 million average viewers. The audience peaked at 34.8 million viewers (18.6 rating) from 5:30-6 p.m. ET, when the USA’s Zach Parise sent the game to overtime with the tying goal with just 24.4 seconds left in regulation.

As expected, the game was an even bigger event in Canada. The gold medal showdown was the most-watched television broadcast ever in Canadian history, with an average audience of 16.6 million viewers. Nearly half of the Canadian population watched the entire game on average, while 80% of Canadians watched some part of the game (26.5 million). The game aired live on nine television networks in eight languages via Canada’s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium.

About 22 million people – or two thirds of the Canadian population – were watching when Sidney Crosby scored in overtime that sealed the gold for Canada. In addition, 20 million viewers were watching the medal ceremony in which Team Canada received the record 14th gold medal of the Games, peaking at 20.5 million viewers when Sidney Crosby was presented with his medal from IOC President Jacques Rogge.
