Although I dislike hockey, I watched the winning game and it turns out, these people did as well...
"Canada's largest airline has learned that it sometimes has to take a back seat against the country's biggest sporting passion, ice hockey", the head of Air Canada said on Tuesday.
The airline was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver during the last day of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because passengers watching the end of the gold-medal-game on airport televisions ignored repeated calls to board.
"We incurred a flight delay for a reason Air Canada had not yet encountered in over 72 years of existence," chief executive Calin Rovinescu told a business gathering.
The Canadian fans were rewarded for their delay, as the nail-biting end to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics saw Canada beat arch-rival United States 3-2 in overtime.
