HAHAHA!!
We're sorry, but these pics are AWESOME.
The Canadian women's hockey team beat the USA in last night's Olympic game, and celebrated like anyone would - by GETTING DRUNK on the ice!!
Apparently now the International Olympic Committee is all bothered by this and is conducting an investigation.
The Associated Press says:
Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director of the Olympic Games, says he was unaware of the incidents until informed by an Associated Press reporter. He says drinking in public by athletes at an Olympic venue is "not what we want to see" and not a good image for sports values. Felli says the IOC will talk to the international hockey federation and Canadian Olympic Committee and then "act accordingly."
Oh WHATEVS!
They were just letting off some steam!!
They deserve to have a good time and they weren't doing anything too crazy!! Just HIGHlarious!!
The girls, however, issued and apology to cover their asses:
"The members of Team Canada apologize if their on-ice celebrations, after fans had left the building, have offended anyone. 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."
Smart move, ladies!! But don't let the man keep you down!!
You DESERVED that celebration!!

What a classless, trashy way for the Canadian women’s hockey team to act! I can understand being excited to have won the gold medal, but they crossed the line and were TOO exuberant. The team totally embarrassed itself after playing a great game against the United States and an outstanding tournament overall.
