Canada: 4 W - 1 T - 1 L, Disqualified Depending on your point of view, the 1987 tournament in Piestany, Czechoslovakia, was either Canadas best or worst moment in the history of the World Junior Championship. With Canada in contention for gold and leading Russia 4-2 in their final game, the lights went out - literally. A bench-clearing brawl erupted and officials, struggling to restore order, had the lights in the arena shut off. The players continued to fight in the dark, and organizers were forced to cancel the game. Both teams were eventually disqualified from the competition. Many Canadian fans complained that the Russians, out of medal contention at 2-3-1, started the fight to ensure that their Canadian rivals would not get a medal either. Some were proud of the Canadians for standing up for each other on the ice, others were ashamed of the melee. In the end, it was academic. Finland beat the Czechs 5-3 on the final day to take the gold medal and the Canadians went home with nothing but an asterisk. Though the gold medal may have been somewhat tainted, Finland did have a talented club. Teppo Kivela, Jukka Seppo and Janne Ojanen each recorded a dozen points to lead the Finns in scoring, while Markus Ketterer was named the tournaments top goaltender. The Czechs had a solid offence, led by top forward Robert Kron and all-stars Jiri Latal and Juraj Jurik. A win over Finland on the final day would have been golden for Czechoslovakia. With Ulf Dahlen winning the scoring title with 15 points, and top defenceman Calle Johansson patrolling the blueline, Sweden was good enough for the bronze. All four of Swedens wins came via shutout, with Sam Lindstahl and Johan Borg setting a record with two apiece.

RENTON, Wash. -- Anthony McCoy did not like having to be a spectator while his Seattle Seahawks teammates won their first Super Bowl. So the reserve tight end jumped at the chance to stay with the only organization hes ever played for knowing theres a chance of more titles in the future. "Everyone always has an interest in going into free agency and seeing what theyre worth on the market," McCoy said Tuesday. "Seattle came at me tough. They were the team that drafted me and at the end of the day I felt this was the best place for me to continue my career in the NFL. I feel I made the right choice." McCoy signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks on Tuesday after missing the entire 2013 season with a torn Achilles tendon. The deal was announced prior to the start of free agency, where McCoy would have been an unrestricted free agent. McCoy was expected to be a significant part of the Seahawks offence last season as a reserve tight end before suffering his season-ending injury during off-season workouts in May. He was stuck watching and going through the rehab process as the Seahawks won a title. "At first it was tough. You want to be out there, you see all the plays you can make or all the things you can do to contribute tto the teams success," McCoy said.dddddddddddd "But not being out there, it weighed a lot on me at first. As time went by you kind of let it pass and focus on the stuff you can control and what I could control at that time was my rehabilitation process and my focus was on that. It was really good to see the team be successful this year. I was happy for them and I was happy to be a part of that, part of the Seahawks organization to watch them go all the way and win the Super Bowl." "It was fun and it was kind of sad for me at the same time." McCoy had 18 receptions and three touchdowns during the 2012 season in a backup role. He said his rehabilitation is far enough along that he should be ready to participate in the Seahawks off-season program that begins in late April. How the tight end position breaks down remains to be seen. Veteran Zach Miller is under contract but has a large salary cap number for 2014. Backup Luke Willson played well in his rookie season with 20 receptions and one touchdown. "I feel I can compete with all of the guys here," McCoy said. "Its going to be a great competition and I think were going to do really well this year with the guys we have coming back." ' ' '
