World Junior Hockey Championships in my backyard

In theory. Or, you know, other WHL cities in the province....

 

Oh yeah ... um ... Brandon? Wait a sec ...

 

Sirs, Madames,

There's a good reason Toronto didn't get it. They want to keep the tournament in Canada.

If I'm drawing breath, I'll be there of course. Funny, tho', I'm sorta on a u-18 and u-17 jag.

YD&OHS, etc

 

In the CP story last night it said all five Alberta WHL teams were heavily involved in the process, so I imagine Med Hat and Lethbridge would likely see a game or two as well, likely wouldn't be a prime game mind you. Apparently when Red Deer hosted in 1994, Edmonton and I think Calgary picked up some prime games, so I imagine it might flow back to Red Deer for a game or two. Won't be Canada, but maybe a Russia or Finland or Sweden game. But I'm just spit balling at this point.

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe by then we'll have a new arena. Ha!
