Episode Andre Savard (482): HoBo Trip Review Washington vs Minnesota! USA Wins Gold While Canada loses in Quarters.

We recompose ourselves after a loss to Latvia and then a less than inspiring win over Germany at the World Junior Championships. What does the classic New Year's Eve game vs the USA have in store? We're concerned. We review some interesting stats from the calendar year 2024 and then give our thoughts on some novel ideas to improve the game. As always we have Guess the 5th and Connections!
