Subway Super Series - 2003 Re/Max Canada-Russia Challenge

2003 Re/Max Canada-Russia Challenge

Inaugurated in 2003, the tournament was envisioned as tune-up for the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. The first series was won by the CHL five games to one in a series of blowout victories for the home squads. Following the tournament, the Russians were criticized for bringing over a team that was uncompetitive, as the Russian team kept many of its top junior players at home.

Famous quotes containing the words max and/or challenge:

    What do any of us know of the private past of even the most harmless and kind-looking individuals?
    Arnold Phillips, Max Nosseck (1902–1972)

    She might have been old once and now, miraculously, young again—but with the memory of that other life intact. She seemed to know the world down there in the dark hall and beyond for what it was. Yet knowing, she still longed to leave this safe, sunlit place at the top of the house for the challenge there.
    Paule Marshall (b. 1929)
