I'll be accused of bias because it's my hometown, but Ottawa did an amazing job hosting the World Juniors again. Not a great tournament for Canada...but a great tournament. Thanks to all the volunteers, our amazing crew, and these teenagers who give us wildly entertaining hockey every year. Including this gold game...
