Imagine the most loyal, loud hockey fans from around the world descending on one city for three weeks of awesome international hockey, while Canadian fans are pumped up with pride and ramped up to defend their claim to the national sport while others vie for the glory of Olympic Gold. The best of the best NHL players from around the world never disappoint the most passionate hockey fans.
It's like a tail gate or a Stanley Cup party that goes on for weeks! It's absolutely amazing...you'd struggle for words when you get back home to describe how electric everything feels. And the Northern Lights Junior Hockey Team players get to be part of the experience while playing some junior hockey teams that would like nothing more than to beat an American team. We aim to give them the competitive game they are looking for... and all the while helping to support a great cause. Every four years we have the opportunity to be Goodwill Peace Ambassadors at the Winter Olympics. Our team has played in Italy in 2006 and Vancouver 2010. And we're making plans to go to Russia...
We're looking forward to another great regular season in league play, to moving players to their goal of college hockey, and to our 17 day trip in February 2014 in Sochi Russia just before playoffs and our quest for the bid to the USA Hockey National Tournament.
