Jon Cooper, the head coach of Canada's hockey team, understands the broader political climate affecting relations between Canada and the U.S. as they prepare for the 4 Nations Face-Off final in Boston. Despite escalating tensions and rhetoric, both teams are determined to focus solely on the game. Cooper emphasizes their role in representing their countries and the pride that comes with it, while Canadian captain Sidney Crosby speaks to the team's commitment to winning to honor their hockey legacy and national pride amid these complex circumstances.
When you're in the position we're in to make a country proud, to make a country be able to stick its chest out a little bit farther, it's rewarding, and we understand that.
We’re a pretty hockey-proud country. People have a lot of pride and hopefully we’re a team that’s represented that well to this point.
