Canada and the United States are set to clash in women’s hockey amidst a tense atmosphere where spectators have even booed the American anthem at sports events.

Prime Minister Trudeau’s announcement to postpone tariffs for a month to resolve issues between the two countries did little to quell the booing of the American anthem by Canadian spectators during matches. The Canadian coach expressed that while the political drama has infiltrated sports, their focus is on putting on a spectacular show. The players are taught to maintain grace in the face of adversity.
