| It was a good day for Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie rink in the Ice Cube Curling Center, as they moved Canada up to 3-2 in the round robin by beating Denmark by a score of 7-6. Playing in front of a pretty raucous crowd, Jacobs defeated Danish skip Rasmus Stjerne to give the Canadians their second straight victory in as many days, and dropping Denmarks record to 2-3. It was a cerebral match from the beginning, with both teams going into the 10th end tied at six, but Jacobs utilized the hammer to win it for the Canucks. There was barely any separation between the teams, and when it appeared that Canada finally created a small gulf, the Danes would counter with singles. Denmark finally got their breakthrough in the ninth, closing the distance with a deuce to knot things at six-all, before Jacobs sealed the win. Now sitting at 3-2, Canada faces Norway on Friday. In other games Russia defeated Switzerland 7-6, Sweden beat Norway 5-4, and Great Britain beat the US 5-3. Jon Weeks Womens Jersey . But even after all that time, the sting still lingers. "Im still pretty angry about it," Raonic said of the straight-sets loss to the Swiss star.

Its an opportunity for our guys to show us how they can adapt to that level and the style of hockey we want to play.Its not about showcasing themselves by scoring goals or only playing one way. Its about playing our style. Its a great opportunity for us to see who can adapt to that level of hockey.There is extra attention on the Canadian team, and its star attraction Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters, with the world juniors to be held Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Montreal and Toronto. Canada has not won gold since 2009 in Ottawa.The Subway Series has an all-star team from the Western Hockey League facing the Russian national juniors Nov. 10 in Saskatoon and the following night in Brandon, Man.The Ontario Hockey League stars play them Nov. 13 in Peterborough and Nov. 17 in Kingston, while the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League faces the Russians Nov. 18 in Bathurst, N.B. and Nov. 20 in Rimouski, Que.The games will go a long way toward deciding which players, and how many, will be invited to the selection camp Dec. 11-15 at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto.We want to have a competitive camp, said Groulx. Well see after the Subway Series how it plays out.There were 41 players at a summer evaluation camp in Montreal, but some of them are likely to be kept by the NHL teams that drafted them. Aaron Ekblad, the first overall pick in June, is doing well with the Florida Panthers while 2013 third-overall pick Jonathan Drouin may stick with the Tampa Bay Lightning, although he was recently demoted to the fourth line.The Canadian team that finished fourth at the world juniors in Malmo, Sweden in January, had 11 players eligible to return this year, including Ekblad, Drouin and the 17-year-old McDavid, a favourite to go first overall in the 2015 NHL draft.Others are goalie Zach Fucale of the Halifax Mooseheads, defencemen Chris Bigras of the Owen Sound Attack and Josh Morressey of the Prince Albert Raiders and forwards Frederik Gauthier of the Rimouski Oceanic, Bo Horvat of the London Knights, Curtis Lazar of the Edmonton Oil Kings, Nic Petan of the Portland Winterhawks and Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice.dddddddddddd.Reinhart was sent back to junior by the Buffalo Sabres last week. Horvat was injured in an NHL pre-season game with the Vancouver Canucks. He returned on the weekend from an AHL conditioning stint, but it is not known if the Vancouver Canucks will keep him or return him to London. The Ottawa Senators have the same decision to make on Lazar.Some NHL clubs may opt to keep a junior age player, but then loan him out for the world juniors if they feel that is best for his development.Groulx isnt worrying about which NHL players will be available until he has to.Were watching everybody, but mostly our guys in junior hockey, he said. Thats the one we focus on because we know well get the best players out of our three leagues.Well wait and address the situation when the time comes. Everythings in play now. Its too early to tell exactly whats going to happen.Some high draft picks will be in the running, including fourth overall pick Sam Bennett of the Kingston Frontenacs, fifth overall Michael Dal Colle of the Oshawa Generals, sixth pick Jake Vertanen of the Calgary Hitmen, and seventh pick Haydn Fleury of the Red Deer Rebels.Right-winger Emile Poirier of Groulxs Gatineau Olympiques may also have a shot, as would Guelph Storm forward Robby Fabbri and rearguard Darnell Nurse of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.The Canadian team hopes to play what Groulx called the tight checking style used by Canada to win gold at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.Groulx attended a news conference at which Martin Raymond, who has been announced Oct. 15 would be an assistant coach, was made available to the media.Raymond, a former Tampa Bay assistant who now coaches the Drummondville Voltigeurs, will act as advance scout to hspotter from the pressbox during games.Its different but also exciting, said Raymond, who coached Canadas under-18 squad to a gold medal at the Ivan Hlinka tournament in the Czech Republic in August. Its fun to watch what the Swedes do and then watch the Slovaks and the U.S., all different styles.Its part of coaching I really enjoy.Tournament organizers also announced a series of ticket mini packages to help spur lagging sales in Montreal, where Canada will play its preliminary round games before moving to Toronto for the knockout games.Canada opens the tournament Dec. 26 against Slovakia at the Bell Centre.
