CANADA’S NATIONAL SLEDGE TEAM SET FOR HOCKEY CANADA CUP IN VANCOUVER, BC

CALGARY, AB – The countdown to the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games is on.

Hockey Canada has announced the 17-player roster of Canada’s National Sledge Team, which will compete in the 2009 Hockey Canada Cup from February 24 to March 1, 2009 in Vancouver, BC. The tournament, which also will include Germany, Japan, and the United States, will be held at UBC Thunderbird Arena, which is the home of sledge hockey for the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.

Canada’s roster includes 15 players who helped Canada win gold at the 2008 IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship and 14 players from Canada’s team that won gold at the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games.

“We’re confident that we have assembled a roster that will challenge for gold in Vancouver,” says Jeff Snyder, Canada’s head coach. “The 2009 Hockey Canada Cup marks the one-year countdown to the Paralympic Winter Games. This event is a major international competition and one of the steps that will prepare us to win gold at the 2009 world championship and in 2010.”

I will start this comment by offering full disclosure. I did NOT watch the Oilers v. Stars game last night.

I read the game recaps on NHL.com and while reading I notice the three stars they chose on the right hand side of the page.

Again... I didn't see the game but the Oilers lost 4-2.. they picked up two of the three stars and Robert Nilson who did not have a point and was a -2 on the night was third star. Did he do something I should be aware of here?

Who picked these stars? Kevin Quinn?

Ever google the name Kevin Quinn? Wikipedia has an interesting entry on someone in England named Kevin Quinn.
