The Blue division will see US, Canada and the Iroquois Nation competing, while the Danes may be the big dark horse in the Yellow Division but Bermuda may be the real surprise. US has to open against Australia though.

Oh Yeah?
You actually think that the Hopkins could EVER beat the Old Men of the Mountains? The Hopkins was always a challenging tune up for Gilman and St. Paul's High Schools before they made the trek up to Long Island to humilate Hofstra and Sewanhaka. But can the US win their division against Canada and the Iroquois Nation?

Re: Oh Yeah?
The Hopkins ain't all that bad. There is a little hotel on the corner of University and N. Charles IIRC that had a great restuarant. And I think the Hopkins did pretty good this year. In fact the general level of the game seems to be increasing everywhere, even though the new sticks look funny.

Re: Oh Yeah?
there was a pretty good little deli about a block west of it too IIRC. But Homewood ain't that bad. 'Course since they moved the stadium it's harder to get to an O's game. As to the goalie scoring on the Hopkins, that's just the Gilman influence. The big question is "Did the goalie score from his own crease or did he have to cross the midfield line to get a clear shot?"

Re: Day two
Tomorrow will be Us (2-0) vs Canada (2-0) and as I predicted, the Danes are the surprise of the event so far. They too are 2-0.
