You are most welcome. The 2023 International Ice Hockey Federation under 20 World Junior Championship is being played in Canada this year, in Halifax Nova Scotia and Moncton New Brunswick. Team Canada will play team USA to morrow night in the semi final round. Canada's Connor Bedard from Vancouver B/C, has already set a new goals and assists record for Canada. He is just 17, and he has already beaten the previous Worlds Junior records held by ...Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Syd Crosby and Eric Lindros. At 17 he still has 2 more years of IIHF eligibility to go. He will be (for sure ) the top NHL draft pick this year 2023. This kid is so good at such a young age that the Canadian Hockey League has granted him "special player status " which means he will be getting a free ride University scholarship at any Canadian University that he wants to attend in the future.
Have you ever watched indoor Lacrosse ? Played in a hockey arena, with out ice. Super fast game, 6 players a side, same 3 20 minute periods as in hockey, but the goal is even smaller that in hockey. The First Nations tribes in the eastern woodlands ( Think Mohawks, Iroquois, Seneca, Delaware ) played a game they called Bagataway. It was a form of pseudo warfare, fought between tribes with hundreds of men on either side. The game went on all day from sunrise. The idea was you could hit the other guys anywhere, except the head. The winners were the ones who were able to carry the ball through the goal posts, which were located about 3 or 4 miles apart.
