Canada defeats Vitkovice of the Czech Republic 5-4 earlier today - Patrick Roy's son Federic (playing for Rochester in a different game gets tossed for fighting and then throws a hissy fit). Something is terribly wrong with that family.

At the rate Roy is going in Rochester he will be joining Cody Almond in the Swiss league before too long.

The player names make me giggle - No Hnat Domechelli this year, but Jamie McFlicker is pretty durn good.
