The Other International Hockey Tournament

With all the fanfare surrounding the 2013 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in Ufa, Russia; there hasn't been all that much attention paid to the other tournament involving Team Canada that rarely gets press due to the World Juniors.   The Spengler Cup Invitational is a international tournament that involves club teams from around Europe and has been in existence since 1923, making it the oldest such tournament other than the IIHF World Senior Mens Championship and the Olympics.  Canada first participated in 1984 winning it all, defeating Dukla Jihlava HC from the former Czechoslovakia.  Canada defeated the host team, HC Davos from Switzerland this year, 7-2.  It is Team Canada's twelfth tournament victory.
