COUPLE OF QUICK THINGS

The Russian Junior Red Select Red Stars finished the tournament 3-0 with a 5-3 win over the Russian national team. They battled back from a 3-1 third period deficit to get the win.

Captain Canada David Killip was presented the top forward award as part of the post game ceremonies. He was such a catalyst for Canada being in on the first goal in each of their first three games that they played.

Guys had a great night last night celebrating their trip and savouring their last few hours in Russia. We are back at the rink today to pack up the gear. Then shortly we will head back to Moscow for the night before heading to the airport to start making our way home.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the country and the people of Russia for making this trip so comforting for everybody. They welcomed us into their homeland and embraced the Canadians with so much admiration. Everyone was enjoying the last few moments last night they had to savour their friendly ways.

I have a few more house keeping things I would like to post on the blog perhaps after we get home.

Until then, Splaciba (Thank you) Russia!
