OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper has cashed in on his bet with Barack Obama over the Olympic men's gold-medal hockey game.

The U.S. president's top representative in Canada, Ambassador David Jacobson, delivered a 2-4 of Molson Canadian to 24 Sussex Drive this morning.

Harper and Obama had each wagered a box of beer on the outcome of the Olympic final, won by Canada in dramatic fashion on Sidney Crosby's overtime goal.

Obama, through Jacobson, tossed in an extra case of Yuengling for Harper, the president's American brew of choice had he won the friendly wager.

Jacobson told Harper there were "no hard feelings" over the Canadian victory.

A spokesman for Harper said the two cases of beer would be donated to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
