The IIHF World Junior Championships have ALWAYS been a spectacular show of young athletic up-n'-coming hockey players trying to win the all important gold! I went to every game in the 2006 IIHF World Junior Championships when they were held in Vancouver BC (when Canada won gold!!), and ever since then I have supported the Championship every year!
This years Championship is extra special for me as I was able to bring my 6-Month Old baby boy, who was wearing all Team Canada wear, to his VERY FIRST Hockey Game!! He loves hockey and had a blast!!
My wife and I have always been HUGE hockey fans, and while I am from Vancouver and cheer for the Canucks, she is from Calgary and cheers for the Flames, we are both able to come together to cheer for the same team, that being Team Canada!!!
And because we are such HUGE hockey fans, we decided to be original and named our son Bauer! (Yes, just like the hockey brand!)
