You’re Canadian, so you don’t much care about about soccer’s World Cup. But the next coming 2016 World Cup of Hockey on the other hand… Who wouldn’t love this! Canada gets to test themselves against Team Czech Republic, Team Finland, Team Russia, Team Sweden, Team USA, Team Europe and Team North America. The games will be held this fall from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1. The whole world will watch as 150 of the best players in the universe will take the ice in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre to wage a war on ice.
2016 World Cup Of Hockey Betting Lines
Canada is once again favoured to defend the Cup and keep it on Canadian soil. Team Canada has dominated the world’s stage over the last decade or so, by winning gold at the Olympics in 4 straight olympiads. There’s also something to be said for rabid and screaming Canadian hockey fans who have not seen a Canadian team win a Stanley Cup since 1993.
Hockey World Cup Prediction
PUT YOUR MONEY ON TEAM CANADA (-110)
Seriously, just look at this team. We’ve got Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby, Corey Crawford, Braden Holtby, Carey Price, Drew Doughty, Duncan Keith, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Shea Weber, Jamie Benn, Patrice Bergeron, Jeff Carter, Ryan Getzlaf, Tyler Seguin, Steven Stamkos and John Tavares.
That’s the deepest, most experience, and most talented team in the games, so the odds reflect this. Sure, injuries do happen. But when you’re this deep, you’ve just got another top-shelf NFL player to sub in for them.
You may be tempted to put your money on a deceptively stacked Team USA. There is no love lost between us and they would just love to beat Canada on their home ice.
