    Held during the Christmas holidays every year, this tournament has some of the best hockey you'll see anywhere.

    Held in Saskatoon this year (that's in Saskatchewan, for you Yanks). It's cold, and the crowds are large and loud.

    You also get to see stars in embryo. So far, Taylor Hall looks good, indeed.

    Looks like Canada will once again win it easily

    No it doesn't. Their first three opponents have in no way accurately gauged how good (or bad) they are. Wait for the game against USA and we'll see what they're made of.

    I was *very* surprised that the Russians were defeated by the Swiss. But then, the Swiss were trapping, so it probably wasn't a fair gauge of the respective teams.

    Anyway, Canada v. USA in the finals. Either could win.

    I haven't watched any games, but apparently most of Sweden is enraged by the referee in the semi-final.

    What happened there? I didn't see the game and was surprised the Americans won.

    Me, too. The Pens e-newsletter mentioned it, though, and I'm happy about it.

    :p

    I think that I was thinking about the U-17 tourney, though. Different tourney, same result. :p

    What a game! Great game by both teams. As usual goaltending wins in hockey and that Campbell kid was great in the third. If it wasn't for him the Canadians would have scored at least three goals before the Americans even scored their forth. Well next year the tournament is in Buffalo, hopefully we win it State side next year. Congrats to both teams. Can't wait for the big boys in Vancouver. GO CANADA!

    You don't get games like that in the NHL.
