Will Maritime hospitality prevail, or will political tensions spill onto the ice at the upcoming Canada vs. USA women’s hockey game in Halifax? Fans booed the American anthem at recent NHL and NBA games, presumably due to ongoing trade disputes. Will this trend continue, impacting the atmosphere of this crucial Rivalry Series matchup?

Others believe it’s a valid platform for expressing dissent. What's your take? While the rivalry on the ice is fierce, should the stands reflect that same intensity off the ice through booing? This game is crucial for both teams as the Rivalry Series intensifies. Will the added pressure and potential for political demonstrations affect the outcome? Let’s hear your predictions and thoughts on this potentially charged atmosphere in Halifax.
