Canadian Fans Boo America’s National Anthem, Get Beat in 3 Fights in 9 Seconds, Lose Match [WATCH]
A tense hockey showdown between the United States and Canada at the NHL-run 4 Nations Face-Off tournament turned into a spectacle of fights and jeers Saturday night, as Canadian fans loudly booed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before their team fell to Team USA.
The incident unfolded at the Bell Centre in Montreal, where more than 20,000 fans packed the arena.
As Royal Canadian Air Force member David Grenon began singing the U.S. national anthem, the crowd erupted into boos that nearly drowned out the performance.
The jeers peaked during the lyrics “and the rockets’ red glare,” as the overwhelmingly Canadian audience made their discontent known.
