It's for real today, as the World Junior A Challenge begins in Coburg, Ontario this afternoon.

Canada West takes on the Czech Republic at noon, our time, and Portage Terriers' Dean Stewart and Brett Orr get their first experience in tournament action.

Canada West started the event off with a win Friday in pre-tournament play. It was a 6-1 triumph over Russia. Orr and Stewart didn't figure in the scoring.
