Below are some post game notes on last night’s gold medal contest, as well as updates on two of the key stories coming out of this year’s World Junior Championship…

The gold medal game at last year’s WJC was one of the best hockey games you’ll ever see, at any level. A true classic.
While many hoped for a rematch this year, it wasn’t meant to be – as things didn’t fall into place in the preliminary rounds to set that up. Instead, they met in [...]

It could be gold.
However, if the Russian team can somehow wrestle that away from Canada, it will be silver for the second year in a row.

If you’re like most hockey fans south of Canada, you probably don’t pay too much attention to future NHL prospects. Junior hockey isn’t a big deal in the States and big time college hockey is limited to a handful of markets. So, it’s understandable.
However, if you were going to make an exception to your normal [...]
WJC Memories with Captain Canada
Ryan Smyth is a hockey legend north of the border.
You could probably argue he’s nearly as symbolic of Canadian puck play as their red and white maple leaf – having played in eight IIHF World Championships, two Olympics, the 2004 World Cup of hockey, served as captain six times and won five gold medals. It’s [...]
