Maybe that is not new, but from what I got off the PodCast is that they
were booing not because of the general rivalry between the hockey
programs of the US and Canada (like a college rivalry), but because of
the country they were from. The impression was that the booing was
more politically motivated. Which I believe has no place in amateur
sports.
