Won One

1 Win in a shoot-out
1 Loss in overtime
1 loss in regulation
3rd overall in a 4-Team Tournament
Not scintillating
But OK
Welcome to the wonderful world of coaching, Mark Messier.

Defenseman Mario Scalzo lead Canada in scoring - 1 Goal, 2 Assists.
Forward Derek Hahn also had 3 points - all assists
Canada scored 6 goals in the 3-game affair - by 6 different guys.
Brathwaite stopped 9 out of 10 shots, JS Aubin was 94.4% in the third game.

The entire Canadian side play in the DEL
All the Swiss play in the Swiss League, so does one German.
The rest of the Germans are DEL based.
The Slovaks play in 4 different leagues.
Slovak Olympians Marcel Hossa & Branko Radivojevic were disappointments for the Slovaks, one goal between them.
Glen Hanlon is coaching the Slovaks these days.
Sean Simpson has taken over the Swiss side.
The Swiss sent a U25 side - treating the event  as experience-getter.

Is experience-getter a word?
