Thursday's Junior Report

Wednesday night had a little more action, with games in the Ontario and Western Hockey Leagues and a lone contest in the United States Hockey League.

Many people -- actually I'm not certain how many, but I read that there are many -- are anticipating the men's tournament at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but that's not a pressing concern in this corner of the bar.

The world junior championships are the draw for me, and as we push past the midpoint of October, I and Pablo the hockey pug are getting ready for the tournament. As we get closer, we hope you will drop into the lounge for our thoughts on the WJC, and perhaps share a tip or two.

For now, we'll have to make do with the Canadian Hockey League's super series with the Russian Selects. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League swept their portion of the series with an 8-3 victory Wednesday night in Shawinigan.

Luke Adam of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles had a four-point night (two goals, two assists) to lead the QMJHL squad in the second game between these two teams. (Game 2 video highlights are here.)

The QMJHL defeated the Russian Selects by 3-1 on Monday night in Drummondville. (Video highlights are here.)

The Russian squad will now move on to face the Ontario Hockey League selects, with the first game of that series tonight in Barrie.

Now, on with the report.
