I will never again make fun of Americans for being unable to follow the puck on television.  I had a difficult time last night following my team.  I've seen Team Canada compete in dozens of tournaments throughout my life and the one constant has been the colours red and white

In moments I'll be parking myself in front of the television to enjoy Canada vs. USA in World Cup of Hockey action.  It's going to be great, but it's far from crunch time.  A glance at the schedule reveals this first round is little more than a glorified exhibition series.

I can't wait for the World Cup of Hockey to get under way on August 30.  The best in the world suiting up for their nation...it's going to be awesome. Canada plays their first of three exhibition games tonight against the USA in Columbus, Ohio.  We've surprisingly opted not

Shawn Horcoff of the Edmonton Oilers scored a controversial goal 6:10 into the third period and defending champion Canada edged Slovakia 2-1 in a semifinal of the men's world hockey championship earlier today.  It looks like we'll be facing Sweden who are currently leading the United States 3-1 in

For the third World Junior Hockey Championship gold medal final in a row, Team Canada failed to hold the lead.  This time, they led the U.S. team 3-1 in the third before losing 4-3 on one of the flukiest goals you'll ever see.  Marc-Andre Fleury was attempting to clear

Team Canada dominated the team from the Czech Republic this morning, beating them 7-1 in the semi-final matchup at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Finland. Canada will face the winner of the semi-final between the U.S. and Finland for the gold medal on Monday at noon.  It's currently

It's not quite noon, but already it's been a pretty good day for Canadian hockey.  Canada dominated its crucial final roundrobin game against the Czech Republic at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Finland, earning a 5-2 victory and a bye into the semifinals. We're now two wins away from
