The Juno Cup Trash Talk
In the true spirit of Canada, the Juno Awards weekend features the Juno Cup. The Juno Cup is a hockey game featuring Canadian musicians and some top hockey legends.
Word is, that in the past, there has been some friendly trash talking between the musicians and the players prior to the game. Hockey (and Maple Leaf) legend Doug Gilmour might be the catalyst to the talking,
“We can’t take it easy on them. On the bus ride over they were already chirping,” said Gilmour. “We’ll have to have a little discussion with them on the ice.”
However, Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy is a little more careful,
“There’s no doing it. It’s like the tortoise and the hare but the hare will win. It’s geldings and thoroughbreds,” acknowledged Blue Rodeo frontman Jim Cuddy, a veteran of these clashes, which the rockers have never won.
“Last year was televised and I watched a bit of it and it was embarrassing, truly embarrassing,” he chuckled.
