Today was a busy day in Denmark…

In the women’s semi-finals, Sweden beat Switzerland 3-1 in a thriller while Finland beat Latvia 5-0. Be sure to log-in to http://www.sport4u.dk tomorrow at 5 PM Denmark time (that’s 11 AM Toronto time) to listen and watch as I commentate the dream final of Finland vs. Sweden! While you are there, check out some of the clips, as there are several interviews I have conducted.
Team Canada can be proud of their effort in these games. They went 1-2-2 but their two losses were against Germany and Poland who met in the B-Division final. Poland took the gold by beating Germany 3-1 in an exciting final.
Today I commentated the B-division gold medal match AND BOTH semi-finals! Talk about being fried… luckily I had some help in the booth with visits from USA’s Annikka Muuri and Canada’s Alison Quinn and Mariko Kusano. Nice work with the colour commentary, ladies!
I was asked to vote for the tournament all-star team. Here are my choices. Usually the selections are kept secret but I want to open up my choices for the world to see, debate and criticize! Comment on this post to let me know what you think!

I have updated the North American YouTube Video Channel with a few more Team Canada videos, including Alison Quinn’s sick penalty shot goal!
Today the IFF hosted the IFF Presidents and Secretary Generals meeting here in Frederikshavn. Absolutely no news was distributed to CUFF members about whether Canada sent a representative and if they did, what was discussed.
Don’t miss the footage of the dance in the A-Arena on sport4u.dk - hilarious!
See you all tomorrow.
