I am guessing the answer is no but if you have NHL Network or TSN or CBC, check out Canada's team. These guys are loaded, a number of future NHL stars here including John Tavares who is the most impressive junior from north of the border I have seen since Eric Lindros. Unlike Lindros, he is not a moronic mamma's boy, so that is a bonus.

The U.S. is also pretty damn good, if you are a fan of USA hockey like I am you have probably been disappointed in recent years but I have to say that this group looks very good along with some nice individual talents we have produced lately (Kessel, Parise, Porter, et al). Colin Wilson is a player's player, man, this guy just finds the puck and knows exactly what to do with it. Great hockey sense and really changes speeds well; he is just a joy to watch.

I have not gotten a great look at Sweden yet but their roster looks pretty good headed up by Victor Hedman, a savvy DMan who will probably go right behind Tavares in the entry draft.

You are kidding, right Wilt?

You can't even find an NHL game on TV, let alone a Junior game. I have DirecTV and I STILL can't find the Versus channel. What a HUGE mistake leaving ESPN. The NBA is resurging, why? ESPN.

I like the sport Wilt, but live only for me. I go to 10-12 ECHL minor league games here. IMO, it is the 2nd best sport to watch live (does anything beat college football live?)

haven't been watching anything but highlights, as tst said, you can't find it on TV, HOWEVER, I did see that AMAZING juggling shot that K*D made, and several others that have been really good...

like Pink floyd said 500 channels of shit on the tv to choose from.... ok, I know it wasn't 500, but that's what we've got now days...

It wasn't the NHL's choice, ESPN did not want to renew their contract. They discussed a return but Versus outbid them enormously for a renewal. ESPN and the entire U.S. media--including most decent hockey markets--just crap on hockey right now.

For those interested, the WJC is being televised on CBC, TSN and, in the U.S., the NHL Network.
