OnMAA, I am hoping you are correct in your comments, for future of Atlantic Canada players

Rebecca Fahey, Kathy McCormick I believe were from the East Coast.
I think you could have used regional representation for these selections.

As well as Leslie Reddon, and Therese Brisson having been at UNB and playing on the national team, but not from the area originally.

Yes the Czechs gave Canada a run for their money last night and beat the Americans on Tuesday night.

Don't forget the World U17 Hockey Challenge in Timmins, ON too that gets underway on December 29th! :)

Czech goalie was the difference. They'll get to him one way or the other. Tournament could be interesting but Can is very strong.

P.E.T. (Funny given the topic, but if you are a Canuck you know who that is).! Arguably one of the best PM's we ever had.

Agreed--and he was the last/only one with the charisma and sex appeal equivalent to some of the higher profile US presidents. I was teeny when he was in power.

I feel terrible about getting involved with this ladies but the man did have something. Maybe he understood younger people better than the old school guys. As far as his looks though and whatever, from a straight guy, I don't see it. Maybe you guys might have some inside information (tabloids) about his package or something? Take... it...... easy........
 
Re: Canadian National Team

The 32nd Annual Mac's Midget AAA tourney fires up here in Calgary running from Boxing day to New Years day. 25 boy's teams and 15 women's from across Western Canada and a couple of U.S. teams on the men's side. Interesting to note the Shattuck's St. Mary's Mens team is back this year after winning the tourney 4 years in a row a few years back.
They and a few other American teams were not allowed to participate after the SSM run because they carry 19 year olds and midget age in Canada is 18 yr. olds. (Why is that? USA - U19, Canada - U18?). Seems the Mac's organizing brain trust has had a change of heart this year and have invited SSM and get this...The Carolina Jr. Hurricanes, both carrying over age players.
To keep this thread relevant I'll mention that 6 of the boys teams that are entered in this tourney played the NWT earlier in the year in Hockey Canada's warm up series. The Women's National Team played a number of exhibiton games against local midget age boys teams for competition. I personally believe this approach has elevated the NWT game, in particular the defensive pairings and goaltending.

Re: Canadian National Team

Who will catch Canada for gold at the World Junior Championships Dec 26th to Jan 5th in Regina/Saskatoon Saskatchewan?

Austria: Austria comes in as an unknown entity. Best Finish 8th, 1981

Czech Republic: The Czech's haven't won Gold since the turn of the Century when they won back-to-back. Best Finish Gold in 2000/2001.

Finland: They have had a taste in the past and will be disapointed with anything less than a medal finish. Best Finish Gold 1987/1998.

Russia: No team has won more with 28 medals - 12 Gold, 9 Silver & 7 Bronze. Best Finish Gold, 1977, 78, 79, 80, 83, 84, 89, 92, 99, 2002, 2003.

Sweden: Have settled for Silver the past 2 years both at the hands of Canada. Look for them to medal this year. Best Finish Gold 1981.

Latvia: Escaped relegation last year with convincing wins. Best Finish 8th, 2009.

Switzerland: Relegated 2 years ago and didn't play in last years tournament. Best Finish Bronze 1998.

Slovakia: Slovakia just missed a medal a year ago upsetting Finland and the US on route to the semifinals. Best Finish Fourth 2009.

United States: A year ago the US finished a disapointing 5th. They have added plenty of speed this year and if they can get through the first three games, should have a chance to medal. Best Finish Gold 2004.

Canada:Plenty of Saskatchewan flavour on this team...including the coach. On the 22 man roster... Canada has 20 players with International experience, 15 with Canada's under 18 team. Six will be returning from the team that won Gold in Ottawa last year. In all 10 players on this years roster were picked in either the 2008 or 09' NHL draft, including 10 first round selections and 5 second round picks. Best Finish Gold 1982, 85, 88,90,91, 93, 94,95, 96, 97, 2005, 06, 07, 08, 09.
 
Re: Canadian National Team

Two words... "sixteen" & "zero".

I actually thought of a couple of others but let's just stick with that. :)
 
Re: Canadian National Team

Four words...

USA: 7 Slovakia: 3

We played a much better team too ;)

Can't wait for the New Years Eve showdown. The bar I end up going to will have that game on or there will be a price to pay!

US Team is mighty quick and the comeback was impressive. All eyes will be glued to the tube come New Years Eve.

I thought the refereeing was atrocious however...

Here's two more ... "new thread".;) If you'd like to continue to discuss a men's tournament on a women's forum, that would probably be a better place for it than cluttering up an Olympic Team thread. Thanks.:)

I find it significantly less offensive than cluttering up the Canadian National Team thread with American Politics and Monica Lewinski's dress....I mean are you proud of that or what?

Re: Canadian National Team

Canada 6 - Davos 2 in Spengler Cup action today from Davos, Switzerland. Canada, coached by Craig MacTavish, plays The Mannheim Eagles tomorrow, who will start..... Fred Brathwaite in goal and is coached by Doug Mason. Should be a good Canadian Style hockey game.

Go Canada!
