Game 1 of the World Juniors in Leksand

Leksand and Mora are 2 hours north of Sunne,
so we just had to go and check out the World
Junior Icehockey Championships in Leksand and Mora. We had tickets for game 1 in which Canada played Sweden. Here we are in front of the ishall or arena in Leksand before game 1 on boxing day.








We sat in row 1 in the corner by Sweden's goal for period 1 and 3. As you can see, the place was packed. This was Erik's (age 4) first time at a hockey game and he was all eyes for everything from the players to the Zamboni. Mitch tried to persuade him that he should be cheering for Canada not Sweden, but he really just wanted to sit back and watch everything.






We sat right in front of the TSN camera man
which was also interesting for the boys.
In the end, Canada won 2 -0 and at the end of the game, Canada's flag was raised to the national anthem. There were no anthems at the beginning of the game.
