The Schedule

A couple days ago I mentioned that Canada is looking at a favourable group in the round robin portion of the tournament.

Well for Canada the schedule is looking pretty good too.

Canada will play their first game on February 16th against the team from Norway. Norway is likely the weakest team in the tournament and should give Canada a chance to shake off some rust and pre-tournament jitters.

After that Canada has a day off before they take on the Swiss on the 18th. Canada then closes out the round robin portion of the tournament with a match up against the United States.

The schedule should give Canada a chance to get their game going before going against a strong American squad.

The goal in these short tournaments is always to get better with each game. The schedule gives Canada every opportunity to do that in the round robin portion of the tournament.
