The 2007 World Jr A Challenge began yesterday with two games. In the first game, Canada East defeated Belarus 4-1 while the second game saw Russia defeat Germany 6-2. This tournament has two other teams beyond the four mentioned above, one from the United States and a team from Canada West.
The teams are broken into two groups that will play a one-game round robin to determine the playoff seedings. Group A consists of Canada West, Germany and Russia while Group B consists of Belarus, Canada East and the United States. The top team in each grouping will get a bye into a semi-final game with their opponents being determined by a crossover (the 2nd best team in group A will play the last place team in group B, etc). The gold medal game will be played on Sunday Novemebr 11 at 7:30 PM PST and will be broadcast on TSN. The Bronze medal game will be played earlier in the day Sunday (2:00PM PST) but it will not be televised.
