Canada IS hockey

Despite the lack of Canada in the gold medal game the gold medal game proved to be a record attendance for an IIHF gold medal game.

(Not just a World Junior attendance record, an IIHF attendance record. And not just tickets sold, but actual people in the seats).

These Alberta folks like their hockey.

I agree. I'm sure if the IIHF had its way, they'd have every tourney in Canada...guaranteed success from an economic standpoint. Like the title of the thread says...Canada IS hockey.

And all the games in the medal round from the quarter finals and onwards were fantastic. Three of the six games going into OT.

Swedes were fully deserving of the win yesterday.

Here is a nice outcome from the recent U18 World Women's Championships in the Czech Republic:

ZURICH – The 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship set a new attendance record for this category.

17,480 fans attended the 22 games in Zlin and Prerov, Czech Republic, for an average of 794.

The previous record was set at the inaugural event in 2008 in Calgary, Canada, with a total attendance of 9,872 spectators and an average of 494.

The highest attendance figures were set in the secondary venue, the Zimni Stadion in Prerov, where 3,250 fans saw the 5th-place game between the host Czech Republic and Finland. This is also a new single-game record, beating the gold medal game of 2008 in Calgary, which was attended by 2,156 fans.
