In Montreal, the American national anthem was met with boos from the crowd before a Canada-USA hockey game, despite a request for respect from the announcer. This followed a similar reaction at previous sporting events, linked to rising political tensions between the two countries. While the Canadian anthem was enthusiastically received, the game itself began with three fights within the first nine seconds. Despite players from both teams expressing a preference for respectful anthem observations, the incident highlights the charged atmosphere surrounding the rivalry.
