Hi Paul!
Any plans to hook up a link for us ex-pats living outside the west just like you did this summer for the Summit Series? You were a life saver. I hope we’ll be able to enjoy the annual tradition this year through you! Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without the World Juniors! If you can, post
the link here! Thanks!

Hello, does anyone know how to watch the world junior championship if your living outside of
Canada? I tried TSN but they won’t let me watch it.
I’m not computer savvy enough to change my IP
address. If anyone can help me watch the games
I’d be very thankful!
