HOCKEY NIGHT IN BEIJING
CANADA vs. FINLAND
CCTV story (Kicks in about the 22 minute mark)
Team Canada Wins 5-3
Photos and write-up coming soon!
For the first time ever, HOKAY Rink was full! 500+ fans who came to enjoy an afternoon of family fun. Kids bounced on the bouncy castle, kicked balls, shot on the holey-goalie and played other games, adults lined up for drinks to lubricate their larynx, as the WAB bands entertained all from the rooftop stage!
A huge thanks to the volunteers from CCBC, Beijing International Hockey, The Imperial Guard and Sports Beijing, and the key organizers James Aldridge, Curtis Dracz, Chris Davison, Mark Simon & Lynnesa Metz - and the sponsors - and of course Team Canada & Team Finland!
In Brief: Finland came out fast & furious, scoring first with a Jokela pick-top blast from the high slot. Then Dracz replied with a fast break goal! Canada pulled ahead by two, then Finland rallied back, providing excitement and pressure until the final whistle. The refs ensured a panicked frenzy for team Canada by forcing Team Canada to play most of the 3rd period short handed! Team Canada overcame and with the help of Dracz's hatrick, Team Canada won the day!
Stars of the game: Curtis Dracz & Yann Genthon
