On Wednesday evening, all of Canada collectively stayed up late to watch Canada and the United States battle for the gold medal in Olympic women’s hockey.
Both teams battled to the bitter end and the Americans won the game 3-2 in a shootout, ending Canada’s four-year winning streak.
But eyes weren’t just on the women during the matchup. Olympic gold medal skater Scott Moir unknowingly stole the show.
And thankfully, CBC dedicated plenty of screen time to Moir.

Not only did he yell at the refs (who could blame him really?), he chugged his beer dressed in patriotic clothing like a true Canadian, and received plenty of side eyes from his fellow teammates along the way.
Moir was not only the ultimate hockey fan but the ultimate Canadian in Pyeongchang today and we couldn’t be more proud.
You know how I feel about shoot outs in a gold medal game…

And of course, the internet lost its mind over Moir’s responses. Here are some of the more notable reactions.

Scott Moir is half cut, drinking beer, clad in Canadian colours, yelling at the refs. This should be one of those Canadian Heritage Moments.

scott moir related requests:
1) can we immediately get a camera on him the rest of the game and have that as a second viewing option
2) can someone ask him his true feelings towards tessa and maybe have a tape recorder going

Never change, @ScottMoir.

Honest question: has Scott Moir rallied a country more as an ice dance gold medallist or as a beer-drinking hockey fan who wants some justice from the refs?
I’ll hang up and listen.

Underrated part of the Scott Moir clip is Patrick Chan looking genuinely afraid of what Moir might do.

Scott Moir appears to be liquored up and letting the refs have it at the women’s gold medal game.

Scott Moir with a pint in his hand, toque on his head, screaming at the women’s hockey final, is an instant heritage moment.

Scott Moir is going to wake up tomorrow morning in the DMZ with a lampshade on his head.

Here’s to hoping Scott Moir’s headache isn’t too bad today.
