Canuck Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 As a Canadian fan who has long called the World Junior tournament his favorite sporting event of the year (by a narrow margin over the Stanley Cup playoffs), I have to say it's very encouraging to see this much enthusiasm from U.S. hockey fans. Hopefully this interest turns into exposure nation-wide, and not just regionally. This tournament truly is some of the best hockey anyone will find each year and has been ignored south of the 49th for far too long. When the gold medal game ended, I was extremely disappointed in the result. However, I quickly realized that if a gold medal win by the U.S. results in more exposure for the tournament outside of Canada, I could live with that trade-off. At least for one year. Don't get too attached to those gold medals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
