NBC’s new Winter Olympics advertisement features actor Jon Hamm delivering a pep talk to Team U.S.A. hockey players, jokingly referencing “Canadian tears” after a skirmish with Canada. Hamm humorously navigates the rivalry, encountering skepticism from players like Brady Tkachuk and Auston Matthews about Canada’s politeness. The ad intercuts with clips from the U.S.-Canada game at the 4 Nations Face-Off, where Canada won 3-1. The Winter Games begin February 6 in Milan, with preliminary rounds starting February 11.
