Canada and the United States are gearing up for tonight’s hockey game, which will determine the winning team of the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.
Patricia Butler of Williams Lake is locked in, ready to join her fellow Canadians as they cheer on for a big win.
“I’m here for a good ol’ rock and roll sockin’ hockey game,” she said.
To show her support, Butler decorated her driveway with anything ‘Canadian’ she could find in her home.
“I got up early this morning to do this. As soon as it got daylight, my mind was racing and rolling,” Butler said.
She and her dog, Thomas Lewis, stood proudly before their home, behind them a set of skis, a sled, a stuffed beaver toy, some hockey skates and, of course, a Canadian flag.
“I’m so proud to be Canadian,” she said, looking the part too as she wore a nice plaid jacket and hat, and some warm winter boots.
Butler has been living in her home for 14 years and has been setting up decorations like this for just as long.
“I’m a deep down, rooted, little Hockey Night in Canada girl,” she said.
She still has some red lights to put up outside, and then she’ll get working on appetizers for the viewing party.
