Canada Schedule

What's interesting is that this year the U.S.A and Canada will be in the same group this year.

Dec. 26 - Canada vs. Finland
Dec. 28 - Canada vs. Czech Republic
Dec. 29 - Canada vs. Denmark
Dec. 31 - Canada vs. U.S.
Jan. 2 - Quarterfinals
Jan. 3 - Semifinals
Jan. 5 - Bronze/Gold Medal game

What's interesting is that there was a article in the Denver Post suggesting that Jaden Schwartz could be captain of Team Canada and Jason Zucker could be captain of Team USA. We'll see if that happens but considering both players play for rivaled teams... it could give DU vs. CC a huge spotlight for exposure.
