Celebrity spectators soak up USA-Canada excitement
Posted by admin with 6 Comments
While both Phelps and Blair were all smiles during a game that broke the Americans’ way early and late, Canadian actor Hayden Christensen (the “Star Wars” prequels) was nervous due to the USA 3-2 lead going into the third period.
“Beyond nervous,” said Christensen, dressed in a Canada home-white jersey and sporting a black-and-red-trim Team Canada while sitting in Section 117, Row 23. “It’s been an amazing game but I don’t like the score right now.”
Christensen lives in Vancouver and said “it’s incredible, such a treat for all of us to have the Olympics in our city.” He is a Canucks fan, but also roots for NHLers Raffi Torres (Columbus) and the well-traveled Mike Zigomanis (right now playing for Toronto’s top minor-league team).
“I played hockey with both of them growing up,” said Christensen. “I dreamed about becoming a pro hockey player, just like most kids [in Canada]. I love the game.”

so Hayden lives in Vancouver now…
He does not live in Vancouver, he was born there.
I thought he lived north of Toronto, not Vancouver…?
When I found out we won, I was like, “Hayden’s on suicide watch.”
He’s good at everything! Tennis and ice-hockey! I also love ice hockey, but being in England there isn’t any to watch (apart from at the Olympic games now). The British can’t do hockey like the americans and canadians!
I wish Canada would have won. That’s always great for the home crowd, and Hayden would have been soooo stoked. Too sad. I would have cheered him up. ;p
