[Anfernic]

I'am surprised to see all these country playing hockey (I know for Mexico) but Turkey and China

 

[Avery4Byng*]

My brother played hockey in Austrailia last year and played against most of te guys in their Junior team. Actually they are trainging down in Osoyoos right now and we met up with one of his buddys and he is pretty pumped for this tournament. good luck to them!

 

[fan75]

I'am surprised to see all these country playing hockey (I know for Mexico) but Turkey and China

A lot of the hockey in China is played in the north. Closer to the Mongolian/Russian borders in Qiqihar & Harbin.

 

[icarus]

I'am surprised to see all these country playing hockey (I know for Mexico) but Turkey and China

That's nothing... did you know Namibia is a member nation of the IIHF? Lots of future Gretzkys playing in the Kalahari?

 

[Baron Von Shark]

A lot of the hockey in China is played in the north. Closer to the Mongolian/Russian borders in Qiqihar & Harbin.

I was gonig to say, I'm not surprised countries such as China, S.Korea, and Japan are playing hockey. Those countries get a lot of snow and ice.

 

[Avery4Byng*]

I am not sure of the score but Austrailia lost to Summerland Sting (KIJHL JUnior B) team the other night.... Apparently the Sting took it easy on them, as the Aussies tune up for the tourney.

 

[Douggy]

There is an Australlian guy playing Jr. B for the London Nationals here in Canada (as opposed to the UK? ). Apparently he's 18 and is the starting goalie for the National team.

 

[vitogor]

That's nothing... did you know Namibia is a member nation of the IIHF? Lots of future Gretzkys playing in the Kalahari?

There are actually a lot of European decsendants living in Namibia (mostly German and Dutch if I am correct), so it shouldn't be too surprising.

 

[BLACKBURN]

Im not suprised there would be interest in these countries, but ice rinks they arent exactly cheap to build. I could see inline hockey but ice? I guess this is why theyre in this group though.

 

[fez]

Auzzie will probably take this tournament but we should put up a fight.

 

[Avery4Byng*]

Tim Faull....? did he live in kelowna for soem time?

 

[clefty]

Their training camp in Canada has been quite good, they've had some solid opposition in their warm up games. Apparantley, it seems a few of the boys could be in training camp for some Canadian junior teams next season.

 

[fez]

Tim Faull....? did he live in kelowna for soem time?

Yes hes my best friend, why you know him there? I was kidding about the almost getting invited to Rockets camp, but the rest is all true I swear!

 

[Avery4Byng*]

In Exhibition action in Bulgaria Team New Zealand played Team Bulgaria to a zero all tie. New Zealand outshot bulgaria but just couldn't get the puck past the tender. NZ have been workin on the ol' haka so hopefuully some spiritual guidence will bring them gold in the tourny

 

[clefty]

Things could not have gotten off to a better start for Team Australia, defeating hosts Bulgaria 10-3 in front of "a parochial Bulgarian home crowd".

 

[Aussie]

Some info I put in there too, Auzzie will probably take this tournament but we should put up a fight.

Would you like some money on it Fez? Aussie will cane NZ. Predicted score line: 12-1.

There is nothing better in this world than giving the Kiwis a hiding!

 

[Aussie]

Australia v China on Thursday will be the Gold Medal game.

In under 18 champs last year Australia defeated China 6-3. This game will be a ripper!!

 

[clefty]

Whoever is victorious in Thursdays game between Australia and China will most probably take gold. I have all the confidence in the world in the Australians winning this tournament.

 

[Baron Von Shark]

Do they televise these games in Australia?

 

[BCCHL inactive]

Do they televise these games in Australia?

I doubt it.

Anyway guys, there is no need to post scores as they are updated at the top of the thread as the IIHF records the scores.

 

[Avery4Byng*]

Good luck to team Australia and to Adriane Esposito! should be a solid sweeping in the tournament for eAustralia. Also good luck to team new zealand and Andrew Hay....hope ya guys meet in the finals and the best team wins!! good luck from Kelowna, Canada

 

[BCCHL inactive]

hope ya guys meet in the finals and the best team wins!!

There are no finals.

 

[Avery4Byng*]

There are no finals.
