Canada and the U-S are set for a New Year’s Eve clash at the world junior hockey championship in Ottawa. It’s a meaningful game as both teams are at the top of Group A in the preliminary round with two victories and one overtime loss. The winner will finish atop the group standings.
At the Spengler Cup, in semifinal action, Canada, coached by Gerard Gallant and Assistant Mike Kelly, lost 4-2 to the German club Straubing.
With $4,610 to go, Marc Campbell will try to become the first Atlantic Canadian based driver to go over $1 million in seasonal earnings during Tuesday night’s New Year’s Eve program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park. The 14-dash program gets underway at a special 6 P.M. post time. Marc Campbell is also running away with the driving title for his 15th straight season with 171 victories, ahead of second place David Dowling at 127 wins.
The Charlottetown Islanders play at 4:00pm Tuesday afternoon in Moncton against the Wildcats in Quebec Maritime Junior Hockey League action.
