Darn you Rob!!....you beat me to it!!
I'm psyched for man....always psyched for this tournament which by the way, is going to be in Russia this year.
Its going to be a very interesting tournament.
I was reading about the U.S team having a very, very strong roster going into this tournament so that element combined with us/Canada being (hopefully) a bit of an underdog having got silver the last couple of years after a multi-year gold run....will make it a good one.
I'm keeping an eye on the training camp info, at least whats available, to see who is likely to make the team.
Quick recap for anyone who appreciates the game of hockey..... this is a must see series. The players in this tournament are the best of the next generation of upcoming professional players. Many have already been drafted to respective NHL teams and if they are young enough they can still compete in the tournament even if they played a year at the pro level. As a result this is fast hockey and any of these teams would give a pro-team a run for its money.
The other very interesting aspect is absolutely NO fighting or immediate tournament ejection....which keeps the play moving.
Yeah, this has been a tradition in our house for many years and its great to see it becoming a bigger event and tradition every year....at least up here in Canada. I'm not sure about how its received, telecasted or marketed in the states but I'm sure the northern U.S guys appreciate it.
All Good
