The trade war has moved from the liquor stores to the hockey rink.

Five months after American forward Jack Hughes scored the gold-medal-winning goal against Canada at the Olympics, U.S. President Donald Trump effectively scored an own goal against his country on Monday by announcing that hockey sticks — along with several other Canadian goods — would be subject to a 50 percent tariff.

The decision, which takes place in less than 30 days, is largely symbolic in nature.

USA President Donald Trump's latest tariffs on hockey sticks will hurt Americans more than they hurt Canadians. The decision comes at an unfortunate time, given that hockey in the U.S. has never been more popular.
