What is it, you might be wondering. It's an 8 team international hockey tournament featuring national teams from Canada, The United States, The Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden, as well as Team North America, a team of young players from USA and Canada, and Team Europe, an all-star team of European players from countries other than the four European countries involved.
The eight teams will be divided into two Groups of four, and each will compete in three tournament games within their assigned Group in a round-robin format. The top two finishers in Group A and Group B will advance to a single-game Semifinal, where the first-place team from each Group will face an elimination game against the second-place team from the other Group. Winners of the Semifinal games will advance to a best-of-three Final series.
Pre-tournament games begin September 8, with the tournament beginning September 17.
All tournament games will be played in Toronto.
Joe Pavelski of Plover, Wisconsin is captain of Team USA.
Canada and USA will play each other in an exhibition game on September 10, and in a round-robin game on September 20.
Anybody besides me and Woody who will be watching?
