It was good, last year, when we booed the heck out of the US National Anthem. I think everyone understood what exactly people were booing. It wasn't the citizens or our many friends and family in the USA, it was the person driving us apart.
So this beautiful singing of the Canadian anthem by Buffalo fans this week before a game that didn't even feature a Canadian team is special, because it's Americans saying they still love and respect us, their friends.
The feeling is mutual.
Miss you, Americans.

Good Morning #Canada
I'm in Toronto staying at my daughter's apartment and just on our way out for breakfast. This afternoon we're off to see the Toronto Sceptres take on the Seattle Torrent. First time for me at a #PWHL game and I'll update you later on my impressions.
Women's hockey in Canada has a long history dating back to the 1890s with teams supported by colleges and universities. They played in hoop skirts because hockey pants would have been scandalous, but originally hitting was allowed.
The attached article reports on a golden era during #WWI when Women's Hockey had some commercial success. Actually it was about exploitation and the commercial success only benefited the male organizers.

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1955, the passion of French Canadian #Hockey fans spilled over into the streets outside of the Montreal Forum. The Richard Riot was named after the Canadiens star player Maurice (Rocket) Richard. Following a violent altercation on March 13th, in which Richard hit a linesman, #NHL president Clarence Campbell suspended him for the remainder of the 1954–55 NHL season (3 games) and the entire playoffs. Montreal fans protested that the suspension was too severe and the Francophone fan base claimed the length of the suspension was motivated by Richard's French Canadian ethnicity. On March 17th the Canadiens played Boston, with the Rocket watching from the players bench in street clothes. The Forum was surrounded by chanting fans and when Clarence Campbell took his usual seat at the Forum the anger ignited. The resulting riot damaged neighbourhood stores and buildings, and led to dozens of arrests.
