Sedins use Inline Skates to improve Skating

One of the main knocks on the Sedins when they came into the league was their skating ability. They have never been particularly fast, but when they entered the league they weren’t particularly strong on their skates either. Knowing that this was one of the main areas they needed to work on, but not wanting to spend the sunny summer months in a cold ice rink, they took to inline skating outdoors to work on their skating stride.

CANADA CAPTURES BRONZE!!

It wasn’t supposed to be easy and, in the first quarter, it looked like it might not happen at all. Although there were 20 goals in the game, it actually took until the 10th minute for the game to receive its first goal. On a delayed penalty, Adam Ross sent a perfect wrist shot past Swedish goaltender Jonas Sparring and inside the post to give Canada the lead. A minute later, Canadian goalkeeper Brett Leggat attempted to poke-check Sweden’s Daniel Brodin and lost his stick. The referee judged that Leggat had thrown the stick, and awarded Brodin a penalty shot. On his shot attempt, Leggat made the initial save, but Brodin put the puck in on a rebound. After initially awarding a goal, the referees conferred and correctly decided that the goal shouldn’t count. However, Sweden scored anyway

Canada Drops Semi’s vs USA - Bronze Remat...

The Americans came into their semifinal encounter as favourites, but they knew that they would face a maximum effort from their traditional rivals. Therefore, it was important to get off to a quick start. When the Canadians got themselves into some early penalty trouble, that`s exactly what they did. It took only two minutes for them to get the game`s first goal, as Charles Yoder faked a shot, then patiently outwaited a Canadian defender who dove to block it, and fed a pass to Shawn Gawrys, who had an easy tap-in at the side of the net. A few minutes later, the Americans were dangerous on their second power-play, and unlucky not to increase their lead. A block by defenceman Kyle Henderson, a nice save by Brett Leggat, and a couple of goalposts kept the US from converting. However, not long after returning to
