Team Canada Junior captain suspended for nasty elbowing

Patrice Cormier (Captain of the 2009 Team Canada Silver Medal Junior Team) was suspended indefinitely yesterday by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Monday following a nasty mid ice hit that sent Quebec Remparts defenceman Mikaël Tam to hospital. The league has reported that it will continue to investigate the elbowing incident, and would not say when its disciplinarian, Raymond Bolduc, would issue a ruling on the incident.

Video footage of the incident shows Patrice coming on to the ice from the bench and skating towards Tam, whom started to rush from behind his goal up the ice. Cormier then caught him with in the trolley tarjks with his elbow near centre ice, dropping him instantly.

Repeat offender? Cormier is well known to be a physical player with good and bad major hits. He connected with Sweden’s Anton Rodin in a similar elbow to the mouth during the world juniors tournament month. He was drafted by New Jersey in 2008 and has since signed a three-year entry level contract with the Devils — maybe a good replacement for the Former Devils Scott Stevens!!

USA wins gold at WJC

Yesterday was yet another classic US/Canada thriller matchup that saw Team USA defeat Team Canada in overtime 6 to 5 to win the Gold Medal at the World Junior Championship Tuesday in Saskatoon. The win is only the second Gold medal win for the Americans in WJC history (Team USA beat Canada in the 2004 title game in Helsinki, Finland) and the win also ends Canada’s streak of five straight gold medals.

The American team will have the chance to defend their title on home ice because the 2011 WJC tournament will be played in Buffalo, NY next year. Canada is 27-6-3 all-time versus the U.S. in the tournament and will no doubt be back strong to try and get back the title.

Sweden defeated the Swiss team 11 to 4 to take the bronze medal. Swiss netminder Benjamin Conz was named goaltender of the tournament and Pietrangelo was named defenceman of the tournament. They were both named to the tournament All-Star team along with American’s Stepan and Carlson, Canada’s Eberle and Swiss forward Nino Niederreiter.

Will this gold medal win bring luck to the US Olympic Hockey Team as well or will it just drive Canada to play harder to prove that they are still king at International hockey?

It always feels great to score a goal – but man does it suck when you do it in your own net!
