How many Russian players come to Canada to play in the Canadian junior hockey system? How many Canadians go to Russia to play junior hockey? Any idea why that's so one sided?
The 2007 Super Series (Russian: Суперсерия 2007; French: 2007 Super Série) was an eight-game Under-20 ice hockey challenge between Russia and Canada. The series was won by Canada, who shocked the Russians with seven wins and one tie (there was no overtime in this series). Over the course of the eight games, Canada outscored Russia 39-13. The Series was held from August 27 to September 9 in various venues in both countries. The event commemorated the 35th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series between the USSR and Canada.
Now if you had have said Canada and Russia are very closely matched in Hockey, I would have agreed with you. But instead you say you've perfected it? Doesn't look like that's the case. Just sayin'

1. That would be Canada. before that Russia dominated JR hockey. Right now russian hockey is having its worst crop of it time because of what happened in early 90’s after break up of the soviet union. Two thirds of all junior tournaments are played in Canada, so you see how it unfolds…
2. Not many Russian players come to Canada. You’re thinking of Czech, Slovak players. Very few do.
3. Selects is nothing but show for Canadian markets. 4 players from that team were on this roster.
4. Canada and Russia are closely matched. But not in skills department.
Just sayin'
