gotta get tickets! Now lets hope, a solid prospect of ours when we draft plays for Canada! SO we can cheer even louder

 

[ACC1224]

Should be interesting. I wonder how many tickets will be left after Leaf Subscribers buy them up? (At least the good games.)

 

[LeafDangler]

If you buy tickets to this make sure to go out of your way to attend a regular season CHL game at some point. Support the league that has fostered this event. It has gotten so popular, which is great, that the majority of actual Jr. hockey markets can no longer host it, which is not so great.

 

[Diatomic]

This is great! Wonder how much it'll cost

 

[LeafsMonster]

Yay! Def want to go

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

If it was up to some posters on here, Morgan Rielly would still be in junior and playing for Canada at the WJC in 2015.

Can't wait to snatch up the tickets to Norway versus Belarus.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Can't wait to snatch up the tickets to Norway versus Belarus.

probably the only game i can afford to go watch as well

 

[Kessely Snipes]

Just glad its in Canada, it was tough staying up this past year when they were in Russia. Watching the rebroadcast just wasn't the same.

 

[TMLOBI]

OHHH McDavid should be owning the tourny in 2015! Not sure who else will be there but I am quite confident he can take on most teams by himself.

Ugh, waking up at 4AM was HARD.

 

[DIrwin]

I hope everyone can check out at least one game!

I live in Ottawa and was 18 when this city hosted the 2009 WJHC.

Probably the best experiences of my life!

I saw Canada dummy Germany 8-2, saw the amazing new years game where Canada beat USA 5-3 and there was that save Pierre creamed over.

I didn't see the Russia semi's game although that would have put it over the top!

And I was able to scalp top row 300 level seats(there's really no bad seats at the SBP) and got to see Canada 5 - peat

I don't think I'll ever forget what it was like, 20,000 people in red and white singing O' Canada at every intermission and winning the game. Never felt more proud to be from this country

 

[kamosko]

Pretty sick, I'll be in Toronto so hopefully I should be able to check out a game

 

[Schenn]

I know what I am asking for Christmas!

I only wished the medal rounds were reversed.
Have the medal round here in 2017 (Centennial)

Did we really need MTL?

 

[john03]

Any word on when the 2017 schedule will be released?
