Draw 2 - Starts with a 5 way tie for the lead


This morning we saw BC, Northern Ontario, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta come away with wins. A few blow out games and a couple of close ones. The big surprise game of the morning was the Alberta/Saskatchewan game. Very close play with excellent shots from both sides was expressed in the score. Although Saskatchewan did not win, if they continue to play at the same level they did this morning teams will have their hands full.

This afternoon's games see a small delay due to the opening ceremonies. Results following below:

Great Job with the coverage. Between this and the live straming on the CCA site, coverage looks to be getting better. One note, Manitoba stole one in the third, it could not have been by an open draw. Needed a miss from Levesque I would guess.

Thanks for the comments, we will look at what went wrong with our eye sight and try and get it right tomorrow.

We are working on behalf of the CCA to help enter he results and we think the CCA has provided the best coverage so far of nationals. We will pass along your comments to Danny.

Thank you for the support!
