Team Canada was behind 4 – 0 after 40 minutes of play. In the words of one sports writer: “They were flatter than borscht on a plate.”

    CAN vs. USA: a very early morning hockey rivalry

    Storified by Maclean’s Magazine· Wed, Jan 02 2013 18:50:33

    Canada’s world junior hockey team has some of the most dedicated fans, many of whom have travelled to Ufa, Russia, to watch the boys play in the World Junior Hockey Championship. After going undefeated in the round-robin, Canada will have a familiar foe in Thursday’s semi-finals: the United States.

    With so little hockey currently on TV—and Canada’s incredible support for junior hockey—fans at home have a serious dilemma: Wake up really early to watch the game, or forgo sleeping until the early hours of the morning?

    Canada will be lead by their captain—and the tournament’s current leading scorer—Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “The Nuge” had a breakout season last year with the Edmonton Oilers and he is able to suit up for Team Canada thanks to the NHL lockout.

    Canada won the round-robin match-up a few days ago against the U.S. 2-1, but this game will carry a lot more weight with the winner going to the gold-medal final.

  • Hockey fans stay up late/wake up early for Canada-U.S. game

    Spoiler alert: Contains subject matter that is entirely too revealing about the Canadian identity

    Hockey fans stay up late/wake up early for Canada-U.S. game

    No surprise to find World Juniors trending what with fans on Twitter and Instagram noting the hour and the heroic efforts that brought them to the screen. For some, it required setting a ridiculously early alarm. For others it meant killing time until the puck drop.

    Canada demolishes Sweden to capture its fifth straight world junior title

    Team Canada is golden again

    There were no heart-stopping moments this time, or late game heroics. They weren’t needed. Team Canada dismantled the Swedes in the gold medal game of the world junior championships last night, winning 5-1 to take its fifth straight championship.

    From the first minute, when defenceman P K Subban scored the opening goal, it was all Team Canada, which played a tough, albeit somewhat undisciplined game against a Swedish team that at times looked flat and wasn’t getting the lucky bounces. They were lucky to get out of the first period down by just one. “We knew we had to come out with our best game,” said Zach Boychuk. Getting that first goal “was huge,” he added. Continue…
