 This had the United States beat Czech Republic 4-1. It was pretty close. A late U.S power play goal and an empty netter ended it. It will be Finland vs United States for gold and Sweden vs Czech Republic for bronze. This world Juniors ends tomorrow.

 Not surprised this was close. Finland beat Sweden 4-3 to play for gold. Sweden will play for bronze. At 6:30, the United States will play Czech Republic..

 This one someone posted on their Facebook page. This is from the 1958 Grey Cup at Empire Stadium in Vancouver. Winnipeg eventually won 35-28.

 Heartbreak for Canada. Lost to Czech Republic 4-3. Rough first, better second and great third until a borderline penalty call on Canada (it was a clean hit) Czechs scored on power play and that was it. Heartbreaking, frustrating and disappointing finish to said game. Other quarter finals had Finland beat Slovakia 5-3. Semi finals has Sweden vs Finland and United States vs Czech Republic. Both games on Saturday.

 Let's start with relegation. Germany 4 Kazakhstan 3. Germany will be in Minneapolis/St. Paul bor next year's tournament, Kazakhstan demoted to division 1A.  Now the quarters. First had Sweden beat Latvia 3-2 and the second had the United States beat Switzerland 7-2. Man Latvia put up a battle here. Finland is playing Slovakia and Canada plays Czech Republic at 6:30. I don't feel good about that one. Stay tuned.

 This was on your Winnipeg Jets hockey Facebook page via Brad H. Arrison. This is construction of an Eaton's store in 1905 in Winnipeg. It is now the site of Canada Life Center, home of the Jets. Wild eh!?

 It's arrived. 2025 is here. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year.  Cheers mate.

 Canada deserved to lose this. You take 7 penalties - yes 7 - you get scored on three of them, how do you expect to win. The United States deserved this win tonight, winning 4-1 to take first in group a. Finland finished second and Canada third. Quarter finals has: United States vs Switzerland, Czech Republic vs Canada, Sweden vs Latvia and Finland vs Slovakia.  Germany vs Kazakhstan in the relegation game. All games on Thursday.

 Canada beats Germany 3-0 to go to two wins and a shootout loss. Carter George with his second shutout. This after suffering their first ever loss to Latvia on Friday.  Canada plays the United States on Tuesday. I'm petrified about that game.
