I've heard that XM will carry some of the WJC games btw[so if you can't watch them at least you can listen to them].
XM comes through, CI needs to have these games

So the Team Canada fans down here in the states get boned once again and not going to get to see Canada win the gold game, because the US wont be in it.
Perhaps you get "boned" and don't get to see the Canada games, because, oh, I don't know, you live in canada? I don't go to pennsylvania and expect to see Islander games.
I'll assume you mean the US. Let's put it this way: in Canada hockey reigns. And all championship games are shown plus other regular tournament games and regular NHL games no matter what teams are playing. That's right. Games with no Canadian team playing are often televised. Novel idea for Americans, I know, to show games that have no American teams included.
So perhaps that's why Canadians living in the USA are surprised and dismayed to find out they can't watch team Canada, or the championship games unless the US is playing.
I guess you have to be Canadian to understand the passion to watch the tournaments all the way through whether or not your team is still in the running. If you live and breathe hockey, does it really matter if your team is playing? I know I just want to watch all the games through to the end.

I did see on Center Ice last night that the WJC will be shown[at least some games will].
Really, I just went to their site and saw no mention of WJC coverage.
The Center Ice schedule from the guide portion of my direct TV says USA vs Germany 12/26 9:00 AM Channel 774 on Direct TV
Its there for me as well
I see. I don't have Direct TV. I have iO cable. This stinks!

There's no reason Versus can't carry these games. I thought they were supposed to treat hockey like it's their #1 sport. What are they going to show? Bull riding and Barbecue Championship Series?

I would think they'd at the very least carry the medal rounds.
also, for those who won't get the games televised, It might be worth it to try a couple of programs called TVUPlayer or SopCast. Basically, they're programs that stream television channels. A lot of people use them to watch Premier league soccer or NHL games that are not in their area. It's pretty much a matter if someone decides to stream the channel as to weather or not it'll be on the programs.
TSN is actually showing 3 out of 4 Team USA games. Unfortunately, I can't watch Team Canada on the Live Broadband because I am not in Canada and using Canadian proxies is not working for me.You make it seem like all Americans only care to watch their team and only have the ability to watch their team.
Well, sorry, but actually I would love to watch every single game. Unfortunately I can't watch ANY. So maybe you Canadians could stop whining like you're the only ones that can't watch. Just because I'm an American doesn't mean I'm any less passionate about the game than you. Sorry to burst your stereotypical views of us, but it's true. So stop the Canadian elitism already. It's annoying and gives people a bad impression of your country.
Besides, you guys can watch the Team Canada games on TSN's online streaming. Will they be showing American games? I don't think so. (Though if they are, that'd be great. I only heard confirmation of Team Canada's games though.)
