The end of the Chipper

The end came a week early for Chip Kelly and here is what the papers said.

It really is Canada's event

One of my favorite events of the year is the World Junior Champions. The event showcases the top under 20-year old hockey players in the world.

The one thing that has become clear is that it's not the worlds event but rather Canada's event. From the advertising on the boards to the people in the stands. It's all about the Canadian fans and their money. Look at the list of champions and it's mostly Canadian. 

The advertising on the boards is a list of the top Canadian companies. TSN builds its Christmas program around the more the two week long event. 

At this point, they should just hold the event in Canada every year. This year the event is only being held in name on Finland but Canada is truly the host.
