Canada is in Group A, with the host country Sweden. Also in Group A is Finland, Germany, and Latvia. Canada's first game is December 26th, against Finland.

And Rutger McGroarty is the US Captain. I didn't even think he was gonna play again this year after his injury.

USA 6 - Canada 5 in OT. Canada didn't play very well for the first 30 minutes. But, wow what a third period. Canada hits the goal post in OT. Before the USA capitalizes on a Canada turnover. Both teams look very good. USA looks to have a little more fire power at this point. Canada still figuring out there lines.

Canada/Finland Dec 26 7:30 am.

Canada with one returning player from last year.

Winnipeg Jets prospects: McGroarty, (USA). Salmonsson, (Sweden). Wagner, (Sweden).

Solid win by Canada. Down side, Canada took to many penalties.

Jesse · December 26, 2023, 04:38:31 PM

I had no idea the game was so early.

Can someone share when the next one is , lol?

Looks like Jets prospect Salmonsson mite miss Sweden's next game for a 5 minute boarding penalty.

Pigskin · December 27, 2023, 08:05:47 PM

Canada 10 - Lat 0, this one is nearly over.

Pigskin · December 29, 2023, 04:58:22 PM

CZE and USA 3-3 in the third. Canada/Sweden at 12:30.

USA 4-3 in SO.

Pigskin · December 29, 2023, 06:30:21 PM

Double header, Canada up 2-0 in the Spengler Cup. Canada/Sweden 0/0.

Pigskin · December 29, 2023, 07:16:03 PM

Can't make a mistake against Sweden. 2-0.

Good game. Canada has a good PK, but there PP looks like the Jets.

theaardvark · December 29, 2023, 09:46:23 PM

Sweden 0 goal against in 3 games... yikes.

Jockitch · December 30, 2023, 01:00:25 AM

Though disappointed, found the loss to still be entertaining. Expect our young lads will mature more as a team

Ya but they played Latvia and Germany in 2 of those games and we didn?t pose any type of threat against them. No doubt they will be tough to beat at home though....

Pigskin · December 31, 2023, 09:34:03 PM

Canada mite be in some trouble. Geekie could miss Canada's next game. Savoie could be out with an injury.

Jesse · January 01, 2024, 01:23:54 PM

Oi vey.

Not to mention our goaltending/defence seems shaky at best.

Pigskin · January 01, 2024, 06:11:08 PM

Once this team lost two very good d-men just before the tournament started, I was worried about our D. Didn't see a Gold medal this year with only one returning player, and the USA and Sweden loading up with returning players and NHL 1st. round picks. CZE, will be a very tough game for our boys.

Canada/CZE, Tuesday 7:30 am.

Savoie, skated today and looked good.

Geekie, will not be suspended for the CZE game.

blue_gold_84 · January 02, 2024, 02:55:54 PM

Bit of a lousy way to lose a pretty hard-fought game after being down 2-0.

First time Czechia has ever beaten Canada in the medal round.

Macklin Celebrini is a good hockey player.

Pigskin · January 02, 2024, 03:01:29 PM

Yes, a crappy ending. Bad 1st. period, out played the CZE the rest of the game.

blue_or_die · January 02, 2024, 07:24:31 PM

Welp, so much for this year. Not even a medal.

Horribly unlucky bounce with 11 seconds left!!

blue_gold_84 · January 04, 2024, 05:42:53 PM

Sweden advances to the gold medal game.

Pigskin · January 04, 2024, 07:59:10 PM

Finland, played a great game. But, the USA was just to much for them.

blue_gold_84 · January 04, 2024, 08:18:39 PM

Should be a good gold medal game between Sweden and Murica. Two very strong teams.

Pigskin · January 05, 2024, 07:55:54 PM

USA wins the gold. Just to fast and skilled for Sweden.

Got a little ugly at the end. No need for that crap.

blue_gold_84 · January 05, 2024, 08:06:16 PM

Quite the greasy ending there. Yikes.

Swedes and choking in the medal round... Name a more consistent duo.

I'm excited to see McGroarty in a Jets jersey.

Jockitch · January 05, 2024, 10:12:08 PM

Really happy for McGroarty and the best team won the Gold
