EP picComplete with rosters, statistics, injury reports, and more that you will not find elsewhere in such a clean and tidy package.

 

This is a unique set-up and is a valuable resource, especially coupled with their extensive database and forum at ItsHockey.

 

 

Well into the women's tourmament set-up already, Chiller Instinct sets up a prediction for the men's competition:

 

GOLD -  Canada

As dangerous up front as anyone in the tournament and with a combination of experience and all-world ability on the backend, the Canadian team is unmatched.

 

SILVER -  Sweden

Underestimated defensive prowess and speciality serve the Swedish side well. A mixture of sublime playmakers and gunmen up front will challenge for scoring lead in tournament.

 

BRONZE -  Finland

As solid as any in net, Finland will capitalize on special teams and keep opponents honest with grit up front and mobility from the rearguards.
