It's VERY competitive! Both teams are currently undefeated. Canada has had a bigger point lead in every game though.
Canada vs Latvia - 16-0 Canada vs Switzerland - 6-0 Canada vs Slovakia - 8-2 USA vs Slovakia - 7-3 USA vs Switzerland - 3-0 USA vs Latvia - 12-1 I was amazed at how many fans came from their countries to cheer on their teams! Yesterday I saw about 10 Latvian jerseys just on my way out the door. I only saw one guy in USA gear, but the place wasn't even half full yesterday. Tonight is THE game to see, and I'm sure this is going to be the best game I've ever been to!

 Stompin' Tom was my favorite when I was little, and this is a fitting song for this post...

I really enjoyed the video Lindsey!! I would love to go to a hockey game!! One of my sons used to go often and he said that they were alot of fun to watch.
I don't know if they call fouls in hockey but I saw quite a few watching this Looks like a blast!!

Yes, they call penalties!
I can't believe that it wasn't until 1979 that helmets were mandatory in hockey! As a figure skater myself, I have hit my head on the ice and on the boards many times and it HURTS! And that was just from my own falls, nevermind someone pushing! I'm going to find some batteries for my camera and post a picture of myself ready for the game tonight

They do get pretty rough! In my brother's last year of minor hockey, they made it to the provincial finals and he had to play the last few games with 2 cracked ribs. He wouldn't sit out so he just bandaged himself up really good under his equipment and got on the ice! There were quite a few cracked ribs, hurt shoulders, and broken collar bones back in those days.
lol and I USED to be a figure skater. I pretty much learned to skate simultaneously with learning to walk lol! My parents put me in figure skating when I was 4, and I took lessons until I was 16 and I got to the same level as my coach. It wasn't worth it to me to travel an hour for more lessons since I wouldn't be getting anywhere with it anyway, I was too old. I did teach figure skating for about 3 or 4 years as well while I was in high school. Here I am ready for the game! GO CANADA GO!

I think that in tribute to your exuberance as a Canadian hockey fan, I will become a fan of Canada's hockey team as well! You look so adorable in your shirt.
Enjoy the game!!! HURRAY CANADA!!!
