It's good that this team will play the Juniors next week. Give the coaching staff a chance to look at line combos and give the players a chance to "bond".
I wouldn't worry about the regular season, UNB could afford to lose 3-4, if chosen?From a selfish standpoint I hope it is only 2.
Good question?Does the U of A refuse to participate?
Last time UofA didn't have any players. Part of expenses are paid by the player unless the school helps out. Going to Italy isn't cheap. Also factor in missing 10-12 of school.I wouldn't worry about the regular season, UNB could afford to lose 3-4, if chosen?
Good question?
It’s also hard to judge guys playing behind different teams . I talked to an ex junior goalie at pickup and he was saying it’s just as hard to get 12 shots and stay sharp as it is to face 50 shots .U of A and Mount Royal are obviously zoned in on gaining a first round bye in the CanadaWest.
I assume that's the reason why Marple and Herbers don't wan't any of their players participating.
For UBC, it will be a challenge with a trio of top players going to Torino.
IMO, Richard is the best goaltender in the AUS, despite having possibly the best backend in the country.
4thWill this be the second tournament that Russia has been banned?
I thinks it's been 2 years for all IIHF stuff as well4th
Edit- oh wait you are talking about FISU , my brain went right to world juniors because of the comment above lol.
2nd FISU games without Russia , they won gold in their last appearance.
2020-2021 was the last year they played so this will be the fourth year.I thinks it's been 2 years for all IIHF stuff as well
Geez, I lost 2 years of my life somewhere. I should have figured that because FISU is every 2 years.2020-2021 was the last year they played so this will be the fourth year.
I was just about to post this. Thanks.U SPORTS announces Women’s Hockey Roster ahead of FISU Winter World University Games

Women’s roster. I’d posted this on the AUS thread forgetting this thread existed and that not everyone is from Atlantic Canada, just 95% of us lol.
Gardiner reached out to MRU last time but they balked at the invite due to cost. Not all schools help cover their player's expenses. Coach Mac even offered to cover half of the expenses for their top two guys - no dice.U of A and Mount Royal are obviously zoned in on gaining a first round bye in the CanadaWest.

That is probably how I watched last year. Not sure if it was $20$20 a pop to watch each game this week online (World Jr). That’s absolutely insane …. $40 is $40 but on principal I really question if I’m watching these.
