Anyone able to watch todays Canada Practices for WJHC?

Have to agree on the Pyatt comments he was great in the U18. He seems like the perfect energy players, also a Sutter style player with his ability to get in on the forecheck.

As a Saginaw Spirit season ticket holder, I've seen a lot of Pyatt. And he is a great energy player, not to mention can play basically any role and contributes offensively. I'm real happy to see that he is likely going to make the team.

VANCOUVER (CP) - Derick Brassard of the Drummondville Voltigeurs scored twice for the Canadian junior men's hockey team in an 8-1 exhibition win over the University of British Columbia on Thursday.

Benoit Pouliot of the Sudbury Wolves, Michigan's Andrew Cogliano, Boston College's Dan Bertram, Bryan Little of the Barrie Colts and Angelo Esposito of the Quebec Remparts also scored for Canada in front of about 500 spectators at Pacific Coliseum.

Defencemen Sasha Pokulok of Cornell and Marc-Edouard Vlasic of the Remparts each had two assists. Peter Hay replied for the Thunderbirds.

The 22-player Canadian team will be announced Friday morning and it will consist of two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 13 forwards. Twelve players - two goaltenders, five defencemen and five forwards - will be released and returned to their club teams.

Clearly, one can't help but have to start thinking that if their attendance continues to struggle, Canada should perhaps be contracted or even relocated to Mexico.

A bait,by a mod no less!!

God,do ever wish you were us don't you? It must suck to be the biggest and the richest but have your country have little history or historical sucess in the game you most love.

It's far from the first shot you've taken at Canadian hockey.Jealousy is always sad to look upon and that's just what it is too.
