Worldfest Pics!!!!!! Blades @ Seattle.

I really enjoyed the Switzerland/Latvia game, Switzerland won 7-5 and it was the closest game I have seen so far.


Here are some pictures from worldfest:



EDIT:

The Blades kicked off their 6 game road trip with a game against the Seattle Thunderbirds, and they won the game 4-3. The Blades had a 4-0 and it slipped. The bridge city bunch are now 1-0 and will face the Everett Silvertips tomorrow night.

Canada has a day off. Blades Begin US Roadtrip.

Today team Canada does not have any games and sport a 3-0 thus far,but Switzerland plays Latvia today. I wonder who the crowd will be cheering for? Maybe the underdogs again: Latvia? Or will they cheer for Switzerland? We shall find out.

One little interesting fact that I found out: Is that both the Slovakia and Latvia goalies wear the #2 for some reason.

The Blades start their 6 game West/mainly US roadswing tonight against the Seattle Thunderbirds and Jeremy Boyer will face his former team. With that being said I will be wearing one of my new Blades RBK jerseys at the WJR game today and obviously when I go to Worldfest after the game.

The Blades will be without Jyri Niemi for this roadtrip,that is fine with me because they can not really change this situation BUT I HOPE HE STAYS HEALTHY.

Canada skates away with 3rd striaght win.







Team Canada played a slightly tougher opponent in Slovakia,whose lineup boasted Richard Panik and Tomas Tatar. Martin Jones of the Calgary Hitmen was given the start tonight.






Canada was pressuring the slovaks all night long and once again they played a good all around game,and of course the almost near capacity crowd was into the game as well. Taylor Hall who plays in the OHL recorded a hat trick and was awarded player of the game for Canada.






The final score was 8-2 for Canada. Team Canada's next game is a new years eve clash with the Americans on Thursday night. It should be a good game.




There is only one game tomorrow as well as the Mens Canadain Olympic team being offically announced.




Here are some pictures that I snapped from the 9th row in section G from my cell phone.






I attended the Latvia/U.S game earlier and yes Lativa did score. It was kinda fun watching but painful at the same time seeing Latvia struggle but the majority was cheering for Latvia.

Canada Earns 2nd win.




The CUC was packed for this game and before it all started when a Canadain flag was carried overtop of the crowd in the lower bowl and it was awesome to experience such a thing.




Canada started quickly by scoring about 3 minutes in.




The Swiss team was able to create some chances but Canada played a good game preventing any goals against Montreal Juniors goalie Jake Allen.




Canada defeated it's opponent Switzerland 6-0.




The 50/50 jackpot was close to 80,000 in total. Sadly I did not win. Canada's next game is tomorrow at 7pm against Slovakia. Who lost their opening game of the tournament against USA.


I am attending both hockey games, it is gonna be fun!!!!

.

Canada gets set to take on Switzerland

Today at 3pm team Canada will take their 1-0 record and try to defeat Luca Sbisa and team Switzerland.

Here is some info from out of the official program that can be had for $10 or essentally free if you bought the package like me.

Switzerland only has 71 indoor hockey rinks but has 24,449 registered hockey players.

Meanwhile Canada has 2,451 indoor hockey rinks and 583,805 registered hockey players.

I am so excited to see my first Canada game!!!!!!

Canada BLASTS open the 2010 WJR's.


I was not able to attend the game but team Canada dominated Latvia defeating them by a score of 16-0. Most of you probably watched the game on tv.
Canada's next game is on monday against Switzerland. I will be at this game. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I did take in the USA vs Slovakia game and it was a intense game and it became more chippy as the game progressed. One Player that caught my eye were Jordan Schroeder,a Vancouver Canuck Prospect.
I have a pretty good seat for the tournament too. It looks as if they are eventually going to replace the plastic seats with the semi comfortable seats. (do not quote me on this) I think that is what they are doing.
If you do go to a game you can not leave without buying a program, sure it is $10 but it has tons of facts and stuff.
