PM Justin Trudeau was in the house to witness first-hand hockey fans from his country booing the U.S. anthem for the second straight game.
You're viewing a single thread.
The American anthem was booed at the OHL game I was at last weekend. I'm not sure why it's played in the first place, my understanding is that we only play the American anthem when we play an American team in the NHL. The OHL is Ontario only. Maybe someone with some more knowledge can explain that part to me.
Flint Firebirds, Saginaw Spirit, and the Erie Otters are American teams that play in the OHL.
Ah, it was a Guelph vs Saginaw game. That makes sense thanks! I didn't realize there was a few American teams.
US* anthem
Is that senior, whale-shit, hockey?
The OHL is farm teams for the NHL. Three of the players in the game had been drafted already.
I was making a Shoresey reference as it's the only context I have for Canadian minor league hockey.
Ah, gotcha haha. As a good Canadian I've watched Letterkenny but not Shorsey yet.
I just can't with Letterkenny. I've tried. Maybe it's because I was a big Trailer Park Boys fan, and for some reason I can't stop my brain from making comparisons.
But for whatever reason, Shoresey works for me.
I liked the later Letterkenny station, but Shoresy is definitely my favourite by far.
AHL and ECHL are the farm teams for NHL.
OHL is major junior level in the CHL along with the QMJHL and WHL
