I was going to go again this year in Finland, but my wife shut that down (wanted a beach vacation). I owe her many thanks because I would not have been a happy camper.
Having it in Canada every second year does suck for the people that want to travel to the tournament from here, but once you've been to one of these events you will quickly see the reason why. Outside of the home country's games, it's like watching your kids play at Winsport from an atmosphere perspective. A lot of the games are mostly empty. Canada games aren't because we travel well, but the rest are. They basically use the revenue they make in Canada to help fund the tournaments in Europe every second year, so it is technically helping the game to grow.
