At the climax of the presidential statements, Canada defeated the American team at the international hockey competition, when supporters jeered rival country's hymn in a deviation from protocol that emphasized the freshness of the atmosphere.

Following Canada emerged victorious in an overtime win, previous leader the Canadian politician expressed the nation's mood in a digital communication: "You can't take our land – and you can't take our pastime."
