Canada and Russia Set To Renew Rivalry

The Subway Super Series – pitting Canadian Junior standouts versus the Russian National Junior Team – begins Monday night in Saint John, New Brunswick.

The tournament serves as an integral part of the identification process for Team Canada just prior to Canada’s National Junior Team Selection Camp for the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championships to be held this season in Buffalo, New York.

Also, as is the case every year going into the World Juniors, many NHL scouts will be in attendance, hoping to catch a glimpse of a future addition for their team.
