Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aboot, my butt
I accept that, but your "loose" is totally Canuck.

I don't even know what that means, but I will accept that my loose is Canuck.
You should hear my accent come out when I yell at Oz.

The other people who need to say that phrase are Scottish. Not that they have meese, but it's a clear explanation of their accent.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
