Maybe, it’s time Hockey Canada
re-considered Canadians
participating in the World Hockey Championships.
But, we’re Canadians. Hockey is our
game. We can do better.
Can we though, really?
The Canadian roster is players from
teams who don’t make the National Hockey League playoffs.
Excuses for a sub-par performance
don’t cut it. But perhaps the condensed NHL season took its toll on the
Canadian players.
Not a very strong argument: eight NHL
teams are still fighting tooth and nail in the post-season.
Maybe the World Championships could
to re-scheduled to end of June so the Stanley Cup Champions could ... Fat
chance, right?
We need a new approach. Finding that
right approach is certainly easier said then done.
Canadians should not accept failing
to make the medal round for three
years and counting.
Canadians deserve to celebrate a
major hockey championship when it counts the most — in the spring.
The lone Canadian team left in the
Stanley Cup won a thriller Sunday, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in
double overtime
The Ottawa Senators won it at home in
the nation’s capital.
And, so, hockey in Canada is still
alive.
