The wish for every Vancouver Canucks fan is to watch the team’s players compete in the playoffs at this time of year, rather than the World Hockey Championship tournament. Unfortunately, the Canucks missed the playoffs this year. At least we still get to watch our favourite players play hockey still?
The World Hockey Championship is an interesting tournament. You’ve got teams such as Canada, Sweden, and the United States who are gunning for gold, then you’ve got teams like Great Britain and Italy (shout out to all my Italians out there) who are simply trying not to avoid relegation and compete in the tournament the following year.
