Anyone remember when the Rochester Americans took part in this ? They lost, so Canada took their goalie and then promptly lost.

He's gotta be the first person to be eliminated twice in the same tournament

Matt Hackett was his name

I'll always remember Patrick Roy's son throwing a complete temper tantrum at this tournament.

Looking at it now.. normally the Czech club is very weak (invites go out a year in advance). This year it's a top club. They also just added Libor Hajek this week and I'm curiuos if he goes. Now before we all make fun of Libor Hajek, he should be a damn good Euro Dman (I hope) so the team got better. I also read they may bring a few reinforcements... curious if that messes with chemistry.

On a good note.. Czechs play Slovakia at 6am and Pardubice plays at 8am on Boxing Day. So I should be drunk and sound asleep by noon on boxing day.lol

Not bad at all.. Dell could be a real problem! Happy for Milic to get a nom. No KHLers? Is that on purpose? I felt like KHL had a lot of Canucks? Are they not allowed to leave KHL or is Canada not picking KHLers?

If it's a player playing for an Irish team it's the IRISH league to this guy.

Apparently, European geography and history aren't strengths exactly of yours.

Belfast is located in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. There's border control and you pay with British pounds sterling, not Euros.

As of now, Belfast is very much British, not Irish. There are still lots of Irish nationalists who wanna change that but this is a story for another day.

The music for this tournament is awesome

 

[NorthStar]

Within the island of Ireland there are no border controls. Even customs controls take place between Great Britain and the island of Ireland in its entirety.

There is no regular border control but there are checkpoints and you can get checked. You must be able to show identification if you cross the border.

There is no regular border control but there are checkpoints and you can get checked. You must be able to show identification if you cross the border.

That is also not correct, only citizens of third countries must be able to provide identification documents. Immigration officials are entitled to inspect individual vehicles in search of such individuals, but can not demand any documentation from UK or Irish citizens. This is no different at the border than in central Dublin or Belfast. There have been limited and temporary controls in the past for example during the COVID-19 pandemic when non-essential travel was categorically forbidden momentarily, but not normally or currently.

For gods sake I know that.


You wouldn't get it and i'm not about to explain it.

This is without question the worst Canadian team I can recall and I've been watching this tourney since it's been televised ...I also followed it in the papers as a kid before television.

But... maybe Brucie can put it all together..
