CALGARY - Phil Esposito said it best.

Forty years later, members of Canada's world junior hockey squad will be saying it -- or something like it -- over and over again.

"Our motto is 'one reason,' " revealed Team Canada winger Ty Rattie. "The whole country knows what we're going over there for."












Would Seattle be a good city for the NHL to relocate to?
  Yes, it'd be a great market.
  Maybe, who knows.
  No, they should go to Quebec instead.
