This is another post from the past - just didn't seem like I could leave it out. We went back to Leksand to catch both semifinals of the World Junior Hockey Championships. The Canada-USA game was a nail-biter being decided by a shootout after 3 full periods and an overtime period.
Once again we got to hear and sing the Canadian national anthem at the end of the game. One interesting note about the shootout was that players could shoot more than once. Jonathon Toews shot a number of times and I believe ended up getting the game winner. Carey was great in net for Canada. In all fairness though, the USA probably played a better game on this day - we stole this one.

This game was not nearly as close, but was exciting just the same. The Swedish fans were amazing, cheering almost non-stop for the entire game.
