One of the biggest questions going into this year's Canadian World Junior Selection Camp is should John Tavares make the team?
I would have to lean towards the YES! He is a very, very dominant player in the 'O' and playing with the calibre of players that the Canadian Junior team offers, he will be even more dominant. Even though he is only 16 years of age, he can play with the best junior players around the world. He will be the future of this squad for years to come, why not give him a shot now? |

Well boys, this article may be a bit bias considering I play here, but I don't think this league recieves the attention it deserves. Before I arrived here to play, I asked a few boys in my travels, "What do you think of Quebec Jr. AAA?" More often then not, my answer was: "What is Jr. AAA?" or, "Quebec has a Jr. A league?" I'll be honest with you, going into camp this past august, I knew very little of the league or what I was getting myself into, especially coming out of the OPJHL.
But since I arrived, I've seen nothing but good, Canadian style, hockey. Yes, it is true, Quebec is known for it's fast paced play, and finess stick-handling, and I have seen some definate sick plays and players.

 This article was inspired the other night, when 2 buddies and myself invited a broad and 2 of her friends over. The night started out pretty normal as we had about 3 2-4's of Moosehead lager, playing poker and shotgunning those brewski's. When, all of a sudden, the perfect night to definately wheel them, turned horribly wrong.
The one broad asks, "Why do you boy's play junior hockey? Why can't you go right to university, like the rest of us? and maybe play for their team, or the club team?" The fella's and I didn't have much of a response, nor cared to answer. Until she breaks out question #2..."Why do you waste your time?" This question, however, hit us like Bertuzzi hit Moore...I immediately turn and say..."What did you just say?" and she replies, "Well, the chances to play in the NHL are very slim, just don't waste your time." With questions such as these, the night was basically over, and the 3 of us were pretty upset over it. It did get me thinking though. Why do we play junior hockey?.....cont'd |

Ahhhh yes, it’s a typical winter here in Canada, frigid temperatures, the snow is falling, the outdoor rinks are getting to be in their prime, and the Americans are the favorites going into the World Juniors. Wait. Americans? Hockey? Favourites? Seriously? Yep
To all the Canadians that were running their mouths last year when Canada steamrolled every team en route to a gold medal. Watch out. The Americans are good this year, very, very good.
If last year Canada was the best team that’s ever competed in the World Junior event, the Americans may be running a close second this year. While they don’t have Adam Banks, Fulton Reed or Charlie Conway, listen to these names, Jack Johnson, Brian Lee, Kris Chucko, Robbie Schremp, Chris Bourque, Bobby Ryan, oh, and they’ve got this kid named Kessel too.
Goaltending
The Americans appear to have a pretty solid duo in Jeff Frazee(38th Overall, 2005 draft) out of Minnesota, and Cory Schneider(26th overall, 2004 draft) who plays at Boston College. Both of these tendies are more than capable of being the #1.
Defense
With the likes of Jack Johnson and Brian Lee anchoring the blueline, the Americans are going to be a tough team to score goals against. With the average blueliner for the Americans being about 6’2 and over 200 pounds, forwards are going to take a lot of punishment in the corners. None of the d-men here are afraid to take the body, or get dirty down low.
Offense
  
Crosby – Bergeron – Perry. Remember the hype surrounding this trio? Try a Kessel – Schremp – Ryan on for size. This team will be one of the most run and gun offenses you will ever witness. Kessel has world class speed and can do some sick dangles while going full tilt. He’s also projected to be a #1 pick, with Canadian
Jonathon Toews also in the running to be the first name called in June. |

As the Christmas season gets nearer you cant help but think about the world junior championships. There is nothing better than waking up Christmas morning and tuning into TSN to watch Canada kick international ass. This years junior team has added pressure that is only experienced once every four years. They have the opportnity to start Canada's international dominance, to do what the last juniors could not do, when Canada won both men's and women's international gold. The last team that had this opportunity was full of future stars, including Jason Spezza, Rick Nash, Brad Boyes, and Jay Bouwmeester. They unfortunatly fell short in the gold medal game to our age old rivals from Russia.
This years team has a host of young talent with only one returning player from last year, Cam Barker. With all these open spots a new generation of Canadians will have a chance to make a name for themselves on a world stage and hopefully set the trend of Canadian dominance in international play. Can't wait 'til Christmas.
