After politely accepting their gold medals, the Canadian Women’s hockey team let the real celebrations begin!
To celebrate their 2-0 win over the USA, the girl emerged from the changing rooms and hit the ice with champagne, beer and cigars.
“Meghan Agosta and Marie-Philip Poulin posed wearing goofy grins. Rebecca Johnston actually tried to drive the ice-resurfacing machine. Haley Irwin poured champagne into the mouth of Tessa Bonhomme, gold medals swinging from both their necks.”
Although no one questioned whether the ladies should have celebrated such a great moment in their lives, but they are questioning the fact that this was done in public.
The celebration raised eyebrows at the IOC, which said it would look into the matter. Informed of the antics by The Associated Press, Gilbert Felli, the IOC’s executive director of the Olympic Games, said it was “not what we want to see.”
I just hope that they do not hold double standards for the ladies while they investigate the situation. Would do many eyebrows be raised had it been Crosby puffing away at the cigar?
In a statement released late Thursday, Hockey Canada apologized. The team has scheduled a 5:30 p.m. ET news conference on Friday.
