Why the Canadian Women’s post gold medal celebration was a big deal
Many of the Canadian media were scratching their heads the other day. They were pondering why so many people were making a big deal over the Canadian Women’s Gold Medal Winning hockey team’s post game Gold Medal celebrations on the ice of Canada Hockey Place (also known as GM Place).
It’s pretty simple.
It was one of the worst displays of sportsmanship…ever.
The Canadian Women’s hockey team Demolished, annihilated, and humiliated the majority of their competition in the tournament. This was a Canadian team that out scored their opposition 41-2 in the preliminary round of the Olympic Tournament.
Just to be clear…
The Canadian Women’s hockey team scored 41 goals in the opening round…41 goals.
This was a celebration by a Canadian team who beat up on opponents that were not even close to their talent levels. Their post game celebration was a huge slap in the face to all the other teams in the tournament. We’re talking about teams who gave their all in the name of sportsmanship only to have their faces rubbed in the dirt first by the amount of goals Team Canada scored on them then in the media with this celebration.
The Women’s team should have made their celebrations private and out of the eyes of the world media. Instead, the entire world got to see a celebration by a dominant Canadian team that fed on opponents that gave them little to no resistance on the road to a Gold Medal.
If anything, this post game celebration was the final nail in the coffin for Women’s hockey in the Olympics.
Consider this sport as good as dropped from the 2014 Olympics.
We started this site to meet the growing demand by Coyotes fans in their need for Coyotes News. We do things a bit differently here. We don\'t provide the canned articles you would find on most other sites. We provide analysis, news, and information with a bit of attitude. EDITORIAL MISSION: We let the other guy handle the box scores and stuff like that. We fill in the gaps in coverage....and trust me there are lots of gaps in local coverage that need to be filled.

Says “Share and Enjoy:”
Not going to share it, however, I did have a good laugh at one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever read.
Essentially, they were in private as the arena had already emptied out. However, an out-of-town reporter (friend of yours?) felt the need to contact the IOC and report what was going on. But hell, if you can find offense in some women celebrating a well-deserved gold medal in an event that comes around only once every four years, then the sombrero of shame belongs on your head, not theirs.

Its the Olympics. You go out there and do your best. These girls, like every other olympic athlete, work hard every day to get to where they want to get, and once they win, they celebrate. I think its a badass way to celebrate, and no one but the media were in the rink, so no kids were influenced or whatever.
Go Canada Go

They celebrated after beating the USA, they barely celebrated when beating these weaker teams. Just to let you know, USA would of celebrated just as much if they beat Canada.
thanks for coming out though.
