"The members of Team Canada apologize if their on-ice celebrations, after fans had left the building, have offended anyone," a Team Canada statement read. "In the excitement of the moment, the celebration left the confines of our dressing room and shouldn't have. The team regrets that its gold medal celebration may have caused the IOC or COC any embarrassment. Our players and team vow to uphold the values of the Olympics moving forward and view this situation as a learning experience."
Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympic Games, said "If that's the case, that is not good. It is not what we want to see. "I don't think it's a good promotion of sport values. If they celebrate in the changing room, that's one thing, but not in public."
Lighten up, Francis.

THIS JUST IN!!!......18 year old Canadian Hockey Player Marie Philip-Poulin, centered within the controversy surrounding the Hockey Team Party because she was one month short of her 19th birthday and considered an "underage drinker", received her draft notice from the Canadian Government this morning and is expected to be serving in Afghanistan in less than 6 months.
Is she going to skate there? That's one rough looking group.
Don't know why the photos aren't loading. Checking.
18 isn't underage in Canada...And marijuana and prostitution is legal in Canada.
Downside: It snows a lot there.
No federal drinking law up North. Provinces set their own. Legal drinking age in Vancouver is 19 years old.
