During the olympics there were fliers that universal sports would have coverage online and on TV

Granted there are some very talented players on the USA team, but as always politics are involved again. Trust me, there are some girls who are not on this team who are better than some of those picked. Not sour grapes just the truth.

I prefer fermented grapes.




Well, not really, but it fit.

I prefer grape jelly over, say, strawberry preserves, or marmalade.

If they truly deserve it, they will get their chance! As usual, here we go again!

When I ordered my tickets for U18 Worlds, I was told I was the first to order and they still have not processed the order as they appear not to know what to do with it. anyone else order tickets yet? Anyone else know what to make of the order form? No room for multiple orders of both rounds and finals etc. Just wondering

Have to agree with you Sharkie. I think this team appears to have been very politically influenced. I can think of 4-5 girls that I am shocked were not given a shot. I think Canada will this tournament handily. That sais I will still be rooting for the USA. Tickets should be plentiful.

U18 Worlds coming up shortly.

Time to get a discussion going on it. USA is two time defending champs. My betting money is on another US - Canuck final.

The Canucks are currently prepping in a training camp in Toronto. Anyone know what the US squad is doing to prep ?.

Canada U18's played an exhibition game tonight against an OUA select team and lost 4-2. They will play an OWHA U18 select team tomorrow.

I passed by Michele Amidon several times this weekend and each time forgot to ask what the US girls would be up to this week.

The US team has been in Chicago since the weekend, and is playing exhibitions against a Chicago Mission boys team.

Canada U18's lost to an OWHA select team 3-2 tonight. Were also shut out in a shootout competition 1-0.

This result illustrates the phenomenal depth of the talent pool in the PWHL, and the strength of goaltending as well, given the winning team was outshot more than 2 to 1.

The Canada U18's have been practicing together as a team since Saturday; the team they played was thrown together at the last minute for tonight's game and most of these players' seasons have been finished for 1-3 weeks.

Perhaps even more noteworthy was the fact that more than a dozen Team Ontario players who won national gold and silver medals did not even participate in this contest due to injuries, Provincial HS championship conflicts, etc....including a few who had been part of the Team Canada "final 40" selection camps in the summer.

and how are the girls doing in the games? Chicago Mission boys are usually the top teams in Chicago in the past few years. Should be a great warm up to the tournament.
