Celebration Criticism

More controversy at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics when the Canadian women's hockey team began celebrating their win in the gold medal match vs. the USA by swigging beer and smoking cigars on the ice. Reports say the girls lingered on the ice for more than 70 minutes after the game. The drinking age in British Columbia is 19 and some of the girls participating in the celebration were only 18. 

Here is the article:  http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/IOC-to-investigate-Canadian-women-s-hockey-team-;_ylt=Aneo_digkJ.vioZE7O5WbM1otLV_?urn=oly,224338

When I first read the headline for the article I was a little angry and it brought back memories of when Brandi Chastain was scolded in the media for her post game celebration after winning the world cup. I thought this was another article about how the celebration of these women was not appropriate for their gender. Then I took a look at the slideshow provided in the article and as the famous saying goes... A picture is worth a thousand words. 

The girls are all over the place and it just looks like a sorority party on ice. I know that champaign and cigars are common celebratory means but maybe I'm just used to seeing them in the locker room after the game and not directly on the ice. Im all for an outright celebration after accomplishing something so monumental especially under their circumstances of being on home ice, playing the sport their country invented, I just think they could have do so with more tact. 

Anyone else with thoughts on the subject?
