2012 World Juniors aka International Ice Hockey Federation Under 20 Championship

[Shifty]

The World Juniors start tomorrow as Canada goes for gold on home ice!
Calgary and Edmonton are hosting this year!

Below is the tournament schedule which will be carried on TSN in Canada and NHL Network in America. Some of the best hockey and most dramatic moments have happened during this annual holiday tournament, the Canada/USA New Year's Eve could be another classic. It's also a great way to see future NHLers, undrafted or drafted.

I also got the World Juniors book that chronicles the last 30 years of the tournament fro Christmas!

Haha I'm not sure this warrants its own thread, but ok! Games today were pretty much what you'd expect, I thought that Russia's would be a bit more of a blowout but besides that, no surprises. Good to see Canada's goaltending is sturdy, at least for now.

Its been awhile but there used to be a decent number of posts. Themanofbat and I would taunt Galactus about Team Sweden but I don't think he posts here anymore.
