OHL Hockey News

Also, the B-pool World Junior tournaments wrapped up the other day, and Germany and Norway have won promotion to the 2011 A-pool tournament in Buffalo with the big boys. Germany was relegated last year and have now won their way back, while Norway will be returning to the A-pool for the first time since 2006.

The two weakest teams from this year’s A-pool will of course be relegated to the B-pools for next year….I’m betting on them being Austria and Latvia.

Lastly, there will be no posts here for the next few days at least, as I spend some holiday family time with the “three terrors”, who are bouncing off the walls with anticipation. Then the World Juniors and the Macs midget tournament start on Saturday, the U-17 Challenge starts next Tuesday, and the WHL’s 2nd half starts on Sunday. Is this a great time of year or what?

Safe and happy holidays to everyone….
