Before the pros were allowed in the Olympics, I would follow our amateur Team Canada based in Calgary. I went to a game between Canada and the USA. I wanted to see Pat LaFontaine for the USA and to watch a good game. I had no problem appreciating LaFontaine's game while still cheering for Canada. We won a hard fought game by one goal. I didn't feel awkward at all and I went home happy. I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy the World Juniors while cheering for Canada but keeping an eye on our American goalie and our Russian defenceman as well.
