- with the speed and shot accuracy maxed
- on beginner mode
- player and goalie advantage maxed for me
- Souped up team Canada against Great Britain
144-2 Joe Sakic leading the offense with 8 Hat-tricks and 16 assists, followed closely by Vincent Lecavalier with a fairly impressive 21 goals and 17 helpers. The boys really tried to get that important 145th goal, but just couldn't get it done . haha

These teams will improve, get better, and more kids may get interested in playing - which can only be good for the sport imo
The first match ever recorded in Ireland took place in the Dolphins Barn ice rink between the Dublin Stags and the Liverpool Leopards in 1983.Dublin won 3 v 2.
Since then the sport has progressed to all levels. Following Irelands inauguration to the IIHF in 1997 the IIHA decided to take part at junior level in the IIHF World Championship Games. Ireland travelled to Bulgaria, Luxembourg and Iceland to take part in IIHF Division III International competitions. Under -18 and U-20 Teams represented Ireland for the first time.
Domestic competition flourished and cross border leagues between, Dublin, Belfast, and Coleraine provided a platform to compete at a high level. However in 1999 and early 2000 the two ice rinks in Dublin closed down. The junior programme was in jeopardy. Players drove once a week to Belfast to train and others resorted to in-line.
The IIHA submitted its first Senior Men's National Squad to IIHF Competition in Reykjavik, Iceland March 2004. Ireland was back on the map. The seniors are off again this season to Luxembourg, France, and Great Britain and will round off the season in Mexico City at the IIHF Div III World Games in March 2005.
Although Ice Hockey is not a mainstream sport here in Ireland, you can see that it has survived and defied the odds over the past 20 years. This is not down to luck or circumstance; it's down to the commitment, dedication, passion, and hard work from players, officials and parents.
The IIHA will continue to survive, to foster, develop and grow. Dublin is the only major city in Europe without a multi purpose arena. The day is not far off for professional ice hockey competition in Dublin.

In Armenia's defence, however, the game was decided well before the first puck drop when, in an act of intimidation, The Icelandik coach crushed the beachball being thrown about at team Armenia's practice with his bare hands.

Did you guys know that Gunnar Stahl changed his name, lost his accent and became goalie for Eden Hall Academy on the 3rd movie?
Talk about the complete player.

King'sPawn said:The score reminds me of the time Dustin Rose had a scrimmage against the 2002 Canadian olympic team. But he only beat them 48-1. Darn lucky goal by Iginla.
Fredrik said:Armenia only lost 2-21 in their next game. What's interesting is that Armenia haven't used their back up goalie yet. I don't want to know how bad he is.
