BUFFALO, NY (NEWS1130) - The legendary showdown between two hockey powers resumes in Buffalo today. It's Canada versus Russia for the gold at the World Junior Hockey Championship.
In recent years, Canadian hockey fans have been used to showdowns with the Americans on the international front. But tonight in Buffalo, it's the Russians who provide the opposition with a gold medal on the line.
The Canada-Russia rivalry began during the Summit Series in 1972 and has continued on various levels over the years. It's the seventh time the two hockey-crazy countries will battle for World Junior hockey gold.
There's no question about who has home ice advantage. Over 18,000 Team Canada fans will form a sea of red at the HSBC Arena - home of the Buffalo Sabres. When you throw in a huge audience watching on TV, the Canadian boys will have no shortage of support.
To win the gold on American soil will be special for Canada because it was the US who won the championship on Canadian ice last year.
