Hockey Night in Canada - Minnesota @ Ottawa (booing at the US national anthem) - February 1, 2025

The crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa were booing the Star Spangled Banner before the NHL game between the Minnesota Wild and the Ottawa Senators.

It's assumed the booing is because of the tariffs, issued by President Donald Trump, that will be applied to all Canadian imports into the United States starting February 4, 2025.

This clip was captured from Sportsnet.

We're just being polite for the first one. This is about to become a national pasttime.

[taytay]

Minnesotan here. And they stomped us, too :’) So proud of Canada!

[youshouldreadmore]

American here- If you're gonna boo us, then boo us louder! Put aside your niceness and politeness and drown out the singer! We deserve it.

[terrydear]

Louder booing, please. But a good start for Ottawa.

As an American, I have to say I'm disappointed in you, Canada. The booing should have been a lot more forceful than that. I do appreciate the effort, though. Just add a lot more gusto moving forward, okay?

[camdudzinski]

American here. I am proud to see it. I support Canada. Over the orange idiot. Canadians you have my approval. Please go right ahead.

Over Under on which Canadian Arena is the loudest to boo this week? I'm thinking Montreal will make some noise....

[Wulfman]

Just a few weeks ago I considered booing any national anthem to be in poor taste. Then Trump 2.0 happened. And I doubt this will be the last time either.

[kisscactus]

I'm an American and you Canadians should have booed louder!
I'm so embarrassed over Trump.

[Dimitri]

I would gladly pay to watch this! Good on you

[alexamerling]

Go Canada! As an American, we fucking deserved that.

[easyenetwork]

Kudos to the singer for realizing why they were booing, I think she realized.

[fortythreenorth]

The booing will stop when America becomes a republic again, not a one man reality show.

[barbn]

From now on, Canadians should remain seated during the Star Spangled Banner. ✌️🇨🇦

[pamgoodley]

As a Canadian-born dual citizen who has lived almost all my life in the United States, I love this. Canada, I am sorry that the felon in the White House is treating you so poorly. It's shameful and disgraceful.

[lesliengo]

Thank you Trump for making America a joke of a country while uniting Canadians against Trump. 🇨🇦🍁

[brianthibodeau]

Boo to the US anthem after their economic war to take our country.

[RM-cwmo]

Great effort. Needs to be a little louder at the next game. I know we can do better!! 🍁🍁🍁

[petechaklas]

As an American, 1 time only I approve. Trump is ruining this country. FDJT!!

[francoislepine]

Just the start....wait til the next game....that was no way loud enough.
Time for Canadians to get some balls...do unto others as they do unto you!
