Justin Trudeau Shows Prince Harry How Canadians Behave In A Hockey Rink

This was expected.

Ed Sheeran stunt double Prince Harry was in Toronto Monday to start the countdown to the 2017 Invictus Games, set to take place in Toronto.

The young royal, who created the tournament in 2013 for veteran and active members of armed forces, later attended a sledge hockey match with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory.

At the game, which took place at Ryerson University's Mattamy Athletic Centre, the prime minister successfully showed at least some composure around the prince.

But then Trudeau, a Canadian, remembered he was in a rink. With ice. And hockey.

"NEED SOMETHING TO DO. YOUTH. ENERGY. SPORTS," Trudeau screamed internally. (Getty Images)

There you have it. Example #342,447 of how Canadians behave when hockey occurs.

Trudeau also kept the sports rivalry going between him, the prince and U.S. President Barack Obama with a video that involves push-ups and a mic drop.
