Longtime rivals facing off tonight in Halifax as crowd anthem jeering attracts attention
The Canadian and American national women’s hockey teams aren’t worried about the current political climate overshadowing Game 4 of the Rivalry Series.
Fans at several professional sports events in Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver have booed the American national anthem over the past week, apparently in response to a brewing trade war between Canada and the United States. Spectators in Nashville returned the favour on Monday when the Predators hosted the Ottawa Senators.
“I think it’s going to be more of an empowered atmosphere where everyone is there to cheer us on and just promote our game, and hopefully that’s all that happens.” American head coach John Wroblewski says his young squad is ready to stage a comeback Thursday in front of what will be a raucous Canadian crowd.
