After another "B" squad of short-staffed Russian Selects Jrs got thumped again inthis ADT Canada-Russia Challenge series--isn't it time to end this farce?...either change the format to perhaps a Canada vs. USA HOCKEY CHALLENGE or end the series...if it became Canada vs. USA then you could get the best of the Q,O,and Dub vs. an all-star American squad from their jr. leagues + from their NDTP
(I cannot see how this would jeopardize the Americans NCAA status since some of the same Cdn. Jrs appear on our National Teams at U-18 and U-20 tournaments--but at least such a format change should be more competitive than the futile Russkie squads they have had in the series for several years now...Either change the format or ADT should can the whole idea...(maybe any Jr. player who has signed an NHL contract and was sent back to Jr. should be excluded from play if the NCAA rules that this would jeopardize any American Jr.'s NCAA eligibility?)---other wise I don't see any problems changing formats. ADT should consider
my suggestion or shut down the entire series ...
As an alternative --perhaps Q and O, all-star teams could play a CJAHL TEAM EAST all-star squad and Dub all-star teams could play a CJAHL TEAM WEST all-star squad...
My point is that the current format vs. sub-par Russsian competition is no longer
worth the effort to put on... it is too uncompetitive...
