IOC to investigate Canadian women's hockey team for celebration

An investigation is going on against the Canadian women's hockey team, due to there behavior after winning gold against the U.S.. The Canadian team celebrated there win by swigging beer and smoking cigars while still on the ice Thursday at Vancouver. Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympic Games, said that drinking in public was "not what we want to see" from athletes at an Olympic venue. According to Felli they will be investigating the actions of the hockey team and will request action from the international hockey federation and Canadian Olympic Committee. A spokesman for the Canadian Olympic Committee, Steve Keough, said the they condone celebrations, but not actions of irresponsibility. Hockey Canada did release an apology for the conduct of there players.

This is crazy I mean, high fives or yell and shouting to celebrate is one thing. I think what the Canadian team did was just bad sportsman ship and in bad taste. According to the article the writer doesn't feel that the girls should be punished but not be kicked out of the Olympics. I disagree, I think that for one they were breaking the law by underage drinking and smoking. For two I think they should be disqualified just for bad sportsman ship alone. Personally if I was Canada I would be very embarrassed. I mean they are representing there country and this how they do it.

I don't think they were really doing it because it is just a bad habit they have and like to do it. I feel it was just to rub it in the faces of the U.S.. Which like I said is just bad sportsman ship and I think that they should be kick out of the Olympics. I mean it is like my kid playing on his soccer team, if he were to go out and make a goal and then go over just rub it in the other teams face like there's no tomorrow I would be so upset with him. I would pull him out of the game and that would be the end of that.

When are people going to realize that when you do stupid stuff like that that there are kids watching. I mean kids are like sponges and they see stuff like that and think it is okay. What ever happen to playing a game and win or lose you all line up and tell the other team good game.
