Novemberfest

Merk Messier's coaching career begins in Munich today.

The four-nation Deutschland Cup runs until the 14th.

Canada, Switzerland, Slovakia and the hosts.
The Swiss beat the Slovaks in the opener 2- 0 on one PP goal and one ES goal.

Canada is playing Germany as I type.
Its a Deutsche Eishockey League house league match.

The entire Canadian side is made up of DEL-based players:

27 MITCHELL Adam -Hannover Scorpions
28 REGEHR Richie - Eisbären Berlin
31 BRATHWAITE Fred - Adler Mannheim

Adam Mitchell leads the DEL in scoring, Derek Hahn is 2nd.
Veteran Fred Brathwaite gets the start in Game 1.

Canada plays the Swiss tomorrow
Then wrap things up against the Slovaks on Sunday.
I've not followed this little event before,
You'd have to think the Slovaks would be the favourite.
We'll  see
