from Bob Condor of NHL.com,
All big games draw celebrity spectators; it’s a North American tradition. Sunday’s grudge match between neighbors USA and Canada attracted plenty of rooting interest and some committed hockey fans.
American gold-medal machine Michael Phelps enjoyed the USA-Canada game from the NHL’s super-size suite above one of Canada Hockey Place’s goal lines. He was happy to watch his college friend and USA defenseman Jack Johnson.
“I went to a game or two at Michigan,” Phelps, a billed cap pulled low on his eyebrows, said of the university where former NHL great Red Berenson has built a stellar program. “It’s a fun sport to watch. I was out here for the USA-Norway game too. I don’t get too many chances to be an Olympic spectator.”
Another legendary multiple gold-medal winner, speed skater Bonnie Blair, is happily here in Vancouver watching hockey and, of course, both long- and short-track speed skating.
