I have a new found appreciation for women's hockey

The International Olympic Committee will investigate the actions of Canadian women's hockey players who celebrated their gold medal victory Thursday night by swigging beer and smoking cigars on the ice in Vancouver.

A number of players, including 18-year-old superstar Marie-Philip Poulin, were drinking alcohol on the ice following the team's 2-0 defeat of the United States. (The legal drinking age in BC is 19.)

Players lingered for more than 70 minutes after the awards ceremony reveling in the arena, which was empty except for media and arena staff.
