The majority of the CDN team were not leaving for their respective teams til Mon. They were mostly at the Molson Canadian Hockey House with friends and family. A couple went to the library square pub. All venues within a couple minutes of the closing ceremonies. The lack of respect they showed towards Canadians, fellow athletes, vanoc and the IOC is paramount. They should have marched in with the athletes then left for their parties. The sense of entitlement they showed was disgraceful. Most athletes won their medals for Canada and their national pride oozed from them. Maybe for the hockey guys it is simply another notch on their resumes. A medal for only themselves as opposed for the nation that ‘blead’ for them every time they played. Shame on them!

The hockey players didn’t show for the closing ceremonies because many of them were already on airplanes to get to the locations of their NHL games scheduled the next day….

I am soooo disappointed with the men’s Canadian hockey team. I cannot believe they did not bother to show up for the final Olympic ceremonies. I heard the Nedermyer tried to get there and ended up in the audience. Good for you Steve. Shame on the rest of you. I can’t believe I actually cried when you won! My 12 year old son, who plays peewee hockey was more disappointed. So much for reinforcing the dream for future generations! Disappointed Canadian.
