Better Red than Dead
It was announced awhile back, but 2023 WUG-Winter (also referred to as Universiade) will be in Lake Placid from January 12-22.
12 Teams for the Men, 8 Teams for the Women
For the Men - two(2) pools of six with the top two teams advancing
There are four(4) rinks being used for the Men's and Women's events.
Men
- Roos House Athletic Centre at SUNY Canton, 115min from Lake Placid
- Cheel Campus Arena in Potsdam (home of Clarkson), 90min from Lake Placid
Women
- Maxcy Hall at SUNY (State University of New York) Potsdam, 90min from Lake Placid
Semi's and Finals
- Olympic Centre (home of Herb Brooks Area, Jack Shea Arena & USA Rink) in Lake Placid
Team Canada Schedule
G1 - 01/12 vs UKR (Roos House)
G2 - 01/13 vs SWE (Roos House)
G3 - 01/15 vs JPN (Roos House)
G4 - 01/17 vs LAT (Roos House)
G5 - 01/18 vs CZE (Roos House)
The other Pool includes HUN, SVK, GBR, KOR, KAZ and USA playing out of Cheel Campus Arena.
Semi's are on 01/21
Finals/Bronze are on 01/22
My guess - CAN & CZE and USA/SVK & KAZ as the top 2 in each pool. KAZ always has a stacked team - they will find some 4th line KHL guys and some Junior Red Stars to take a class or two. US Div III all-star teams haven't faired well at this event, but they're in an easy pool so should finish 2nd - if they don't it's because of SVK.
