...until this afternoon.

Totally classless to boo the Canadian National Anthem.

I don't care if they boo'd our's somewhere else. I don't care what bulls--t logic you can come up with to justify those morons' actions. It was low class and embarrasing.

For the first time I can say I'm almost ashamed to be an IceCats' fan.

I agree wholeheartedly.  I was at the playoff games last year when the Toronto and Islander fans booed eachother's anthems.

You know what I feel though, is that all it takes is a few morons to get things going and make everyone look bad.

I would HOPE the majority of people did not act like suck morons.

I totally agree with ya 210 and Rob. Booing a national anthem (no matter what country) is low and down right disgusting. Just because other teams' fans have booed the anthems doesn't give our fans one ounce of right to boo the Canadian anthem. Some of these people just need to grow up.

I have never seen anything so disgraceful and disrepectful in all my life.  Those fans that were booing should be hanging there heads in shame and HOW DARE they make the rest of the fans look bad. SUCH BAD TASTE!

I agree and let me say being from Canada (Callander Ontario, Home of Steve Mclaren) that I felt totally horrible that the Canadian's fans booed the Americian anthem.  I don't care if you agree with the war or not, what point did it serve.  None except make the rest of us look bad.  So on behalf of the majority of the fans North of the Border.  I Apologies.

Now that being said do you think that they should stop playing the anthems before the games?

Well said, 210!

My temper got fierce in last nights game, and it started with the idiots behind me booing the national anthem for Canada.  Two wrongs do not make a right.

And by booing that national anthem, you just insulted a majority of the IceCats team.   Shame on the ignorant people in the stands.   It took all I had not to turn around and throw some nasty words out.

I appreciated the response of the fans in this forum to the booing of the Canadian National Anthem. I cringed when I heard that the American Anthem had been booed in a city in Canada. It is interesting that two cities in Canada(Montreal being one) had the crowd actually cheering the American National Anthem as an expression of our affection for the U.S.A. Too often we hear the negative side but there are many in Canada who appreciate our Amercian friends. My daughter lives there and loves the country.Thanks for your support.

From the sound of these posts I really respect the ice cats fan forum for realizing how utterly pointless it is to blame hockey fans or players for the actions of world leaders everywhere. We are the real fabric of our nations and we should teach them kids to respect our hockey players regardless of their homeland.
