As I said, in just 37 games, he's also a plus 44.

He's on track now.

I don't want to jinx him, but he's on track for more than 50 goals, more than 100 points this season in the WHL.

And that would be incredible.

Yeah.

So Canada salvaging something, still a disappointing showing for Canada.

And the first time they've gone three seasons, I believe, or three tournaments without earning the gold.

They brought a very different team this time, and they sure packed a punch as far as goal scoring.

They had no problem scoring goals, but that Czechia rivalry that continues to grow, that two wild games against Czechia, both in the round robin and in the medal round.

So that means, of course, that Michael Hage got a bronze medal for Canada.

He also topped the tournament in points with 15 points, mostly assists, 13 assists in seven games.

He was a plus seven, one game winner overall.

But, you know, the Canadiens fans this week were talking about the Hage snub in that the top three players chosen by the management of Hockey Canada were TJ Ginla, Zane Parekh, and Sam O'Reilly.

Michael Hage left off that list.

Hage was named to the World Junior All-Star team, but lots of...

speculation about why that might have been why he was left off that list.

And some are saying it's because he chose to play in the NCAA.

And I don't,

We don't know the reason, but it doesn't take anything away, and not to take anything away from Aginla Parekh and O'Reilly, and Parekh had his own issues to deal with, although he was right in what he said, but then had to apologize for it.

Yeah.
