Holiday's aren't complete without the Spengler Cup

It's a tournament sometimes best known for the strategic placement of the sponsor's automobiles (which we imagine come with some form of an additional insurance rider to the policy) but as the years have moved forward, the hockey has become the story.

The Spengler Cup which like the World Junior Tournament dominates the hockey scene during the final week of December and into January brings the wide collection of hockey players currently playing the game in Europe these days.

The Davos hosted tournament launches on Boxing Day with two games and carries through until the New Years Eve showdown to declare the winner.

Six teams are taking part including Team Canada made up mainly of Canadians playing in Europe with some reinforcements arriving from the AHL for the holiday tournament.

Other teams set for puck drop include Adler Mayhem, Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg, HC Lguano, Jokerit Helsinki  and host HC Davos.

The Team Canada Spengler Roster was announced earlier this week Guy Boucher is the head coach for Team Canada, while George McPhee has been the GM putting the squad together.
