GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — The first Olympic game in the history of South Korean men's hockey got an unexpected visitor Thursday night: North Korea's cheerleading troupe.
The cheerleaders have attended the Korean women's games so far, with that team having players from both North Korea and South Korea. But the South Korean men's team has no North Korean players; it has18 South Koreans and seven North Americans — one from the United States and six from Canada — who are dual citizens.
The Korean women's games have been popular all week, even though they have lost each game.
