USA out of International Hockey?

Well Well Well,  On December 30th United States National Hockey team failed to qualify for a medal round in the International Ice Hockey Fedreation U20 Tournee with a loss to the Czech Republic. It was a sad day south of the boarder.  Hopes were high on Charlie Coyle and Brandon Saad offensive talent but the abysmally overextended goal tending by Jack Campbell lead to the 2 big losses.  The Silver lining is the Canadian Hockey League's BMO rankings.
I would speculate that the WWE would like to sign some contracts with a few London Knights players after the December 26th brawlers bash, which lead the Knights loss and poor showing. The Spectacle should lead to a demotion in BMO rankings enough to put an American Team on top of the CHL's top spot.

The Kennewick Washington based Tri City Americans brought home a New Years Eve game Victory over the Spokane Chiefs and a big W column tally vs the Kelowna Rockets on the 29th.  Which should be enough to propel the Americans to the Top of the BMO and put the target on their backs for the top cup contention for either the Ed Chenoweth cup and the Memorial Cup.

Are the Americans Out of International Hockey? NO the USA is just aided by a bunch of Northern boys trying their best. Good on ya Ams!

Update: 1/05/12 As previously stated, The Bank Of Montreals Canadian Hockey Leagues Rankings came out yesterday and Americans are  on top.
