1. WHC:  Team Canada had a very good tournament but had to settle for the silver medal in a game with controversial calls in the 3rd period AND overtime that cost them their and indirectly their starting goalie.  In spite of this, in true Canadian style, the boys scored two late goals with their goalie pulled and forced overtime where they lost on another powerplay goal.  To say the officials had a major say in this outcome would be a major understatement.    

Both Pierre-Luc Dubois and Adam Lowry were major contributors throughout the tournament and represented the Winnipeg Jets very well.

1. WHC:  Pierre-Luc Dubois and Adam Lowry are playing very well for Team Canada, Nikolaj Ehlers is easily Denmark’s best player and Nate Schmidt is one of Team USA’s steadier defencemen.  Leon Gawanke just joined Team Germany and notched a point in his first game and now all five players representing the Jets have points for their countries.  Not bad.

1. Jets:  The season is over for the Winnipeg Jets but Pierre-Luc Dubois and Adam Lowry with be reprersenting Team Canada at the 2022 Men’s World Hockey Championships.  Nate Schmidt will be joining Team USA and Nikolaj Ehlers will play for Team Denmark.  I love the IIHF WHC and having our Winnipeg Jets player involved just makes it a little more interesting.
