Such a great gold medal game between Canada and the US, and although Canada lost, the Canadian team is a team all Canadians can and should be proud of. They were great, this collection of teenagers, and it’s a tough act to follow when your predecessors won gold in five straight years.
The young Canadians came [...]

The schedule maker must have grown up in a Habs-hating home. He had the team on a long seven-game road trip, then home for one game, and now down to Washington. Players barely had time to kiss the dog and pat the wife.
And on top of that, the team plays while the Canadian juniors go [...]

It’s a sad story I’m about to tell you.
I finally sat down twenty hours after the fact to watch the big Canada-US junior game, and things were going swimmingly. I saw Canada fall behind 4-2 and in typically dramatic fashion, tie it up late in the game like I almost knew they would. I saw [...]

8-2 Team Canada.
Which makes the important numbers these:
Three games – Three wins.
Three games – 30 goals for, 2 against.
50-50 draw for the game held in Saskatoon – $56,000

Pepsi has come up with another promotion with prizes I’d sure like to get my greasy little hands on. What you have to do is come up with a creative hockey cheer and you can win trips to the World Juniors in Regina and Saskatoon, and the men’s World Championships which will take place in Germany next [...]

In 1972, Team Canada decided to play two exhibition games in Stockholm in preparation for the final four games against the Russians in Moscow. It was a way to have some ice time on the bigger ice, to deal with jet lag, to work on some things, and to have some solid European opposition before the main [...]

Canada won gold tonight by taking it to Sweden, 5-1 in Ottawa. But they won more than that. They won our hearts too.
 
It’s a shame that it has to end. Such emotion, such excitement, such noise from a usually quieter crowd in Ottawa for Senators games. But it’s the juniors, for goodness sakes. You can’t help [...]

A fellow in Vermont contacted me after finding this site, and sent in this story.  He and I have one major thing in common. We have the same name. 
The Hockey Story of another Dennis Kane
 
I recently came across your site and was drawn, I admit, less because I am a die-hard fan of the Canadiens, than [...]

Right now, 36 years ago in 1972, Team Canada was not having a nice time with the Russian National Team. They were clobbered in Montreal and booed in Vancouver. They were tired and frustrated, and things looked bad. But in they end, as we all know, they pulled it out.
 But it wasn’t just on-ice things going on. Here’s [...]

In early September of 1991, my first wife and I and our two kids stopped in Stockholm for a few days on our way to Leningrad, Russia. (St. Petersburg).
 
It was pretty well exactly 17 years ago. Time flies, as they say.
 
We stayed in a nice little hotel in Stockholm which was a converted old prison, [...]
