Outdoor WJC Div-III game in Mexico City

[Purple hippo]

Just finished watching the Serbia-Turkey match and geez, did the Serbs ever have some huge kids compared to Turkey. Serbia has 7 players 1.87m or taller and just 6 players 1.83m or shorter. Vujinovic stands 1.90m and 108kg.

As expected the Serbs dominated Turkey and should the rest of the way this tournament back to Division II. Look forward to see if Chinese Taipei can finally get over the hill and pick up 3pts instead of falling apart.

Thanks for posting the Mexico-Bulgaria WJC game


It makes me realized how spoiled North Americans are when it comes to being able to watch and/or play quality hockey. I'd be willing to bet that an average Canadian Jr/Jungle C team(and maybe even good Jr. Rec teams) would give Mexico and Bulgaria a good run for their money.

Edit: I take that back. An average Jr. C team would probably stomp Mexico. A "good" Jr. Rec team would probably stomp Bulgaria. Bulgaria is really, really bad. I'd hate to see the North Korean team play
