MONTREAL -- A peewee hockey tournament in Montreal became a trip into hostile territory for a busload of Americans who say they encountered such fierce anti-Americanism that they will think twice before returning.
I can only feel ashamed that this has happened in the city I call home. It's in thing to shout slogans and wave signs in fromt of the American consulate. It's unacceptable to verbally (or any other way) abuse children.

MONTREAL -- The face of the polite Canadian resurfaced yesterday for a group of U.S. peewee hockey players.
The children had run into a barrage of anti-U.S. hostility during a recent tournament in Montreal.
One of the hockey families was inundated with calls of support and sympathy from across Canada after reports about the Americans' soured trip north.
There are ***holes everywhere. They should not be seen as being representative of the population at large.
