I have been couple years ago to the WC in Prague and it was a riot even though the local team didn't qualify for the finals.
seeing the crazy Finns, Swedes adn the Swiss fans with their Cowbells basically gave the North Americans a completely different flair of what tourney hockey can be all about.
Dare I say it resembles college hockey atmosphere.
I think Canadian fans see the value in it. The europeans will not travel to north America to watch Junior WC, hell they won't even watch it at home but having had the exposure to all the international fans I think Canada and hopefully the US
will host more tournaments in the future.
I would hope there can be a tournament in the US. Minnesota /Wisconsin would be
great place to stage it.
So what do you think?
