Even though Finland's group is "easy", it also means that we might only get to see only one game on tv/via stream.

 

[Davebo*]

Wow - Canada with a tough group. I've never seen a tougher grouping for us.

Awesome!

 

[therealdeal]

So this is played on North American sized ice then?

Whats the point of having games scheduled on new years eve?

Whats the point of having games scheduled on new years eve?

Why not? They are typically out of the way before the partying starts (though I presume that's not the case for Europe when the games are in North America?), and there have been some classic New Year's eve games.

It's too bad there is no Canada/USA New Year's game this time. It's become a pretty amazing tradition.

Yep. Last year Finland vs Sweden started 9pm finnish local time on New Years Eve.

In that case I am sorry to hear that. Though given a choice between celebrating New Year's and watching a WJC game, it seems like an easy choice for me!

Just to clarify I'm choosing the hockey. Lol.

So some of us can actually get a chance to go see a game? I'm looking forward to when the individual game tickets go on sale, and hopefully have a chance to see either Canada/Russia on the 26th or Canada/Sweden on the 31st. It's a shame the other games have to be scheduled on a work day...

 

[wjhl2009fan]

I am shocked the iihf is letting them use such a small arena only 2500 seats.

It doesn't really matter, it's only for the small draw games where they're not likely to get more than that. Overall they're still going to get higher attendance than they would get in Europe, plus the Canada and USA will balance it out.

I loved watching Canada/USA on New Year's Eve. I am going to really miss that this year. For the past few years my wife and I have hosted a New Year's party and we all enjoy the Canada/USA game.

Why am I not surprised to see Sweden play 3 out of 4 games in Niagara

Oh and Sweden-Canada 10pm on New Year's eve here, safe to say there might be a good reason to drink - for various reasons..

[northstarsforever]

Anyone know if this will be on NHL Network?

Whats the point of having games scheduled on new years eve?

I don't know, last year I didn't even watch most of the Canada/USA game on NYE until the OT/shootout. Was at a bar drunk already and watched Canada win in the SO in a packed bar, then got even more drunk to ring in the new year. It was pretty fun.

Anyways, just secured tickets for Canada/Norway. So pumped. My first international game.

 

[tfantasy]

The Americans have a cake walk to the finals, meanwhile our first three games are against the toughest teams in the tournament.

They have a cakewalk to the semi-finals... And then things get interesting.

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

Yep. Last year Finland vs Sweden started 9pm finnish local time on New Years Eve.

That was good time for hockey IMO. There is no better way to start New Years Eve than Finland vs. Sweden WJC hockey

Travel between HSBC Arena and Dwyer Arena

Hey all,

I hope somebody will be able to help me with this; I've searched for a while without any luck. I will be attending the World Junior Championships in Buffalo, and I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be any form of transportation provided to travel between the two venues, as I would like to catch a few games in Niagara. If not, perhaps those of you that live in the area have some suggestions on the best way to get back and forth(besides driving).

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Shrimper]

I can watch some of these games. Looking forward to see the Canada vs Russia mostly in the group stages, biggest game of the group stages if you ask me, kicks off at 9:00PM here.

 

[gojacketsgo61]

Kinda wish it was a Canada vs USA New years eve classic but the groups won't allow that just last years was amazing.

I don't get how this is funny. To be honest why does it matter where they play?
