TEAM CANADA probably refers to the Canadian Olympic team.  I know what
you're thinking, the olympics aren't for another two years.  That's true
but Canada is serious about winning the gold medal in front of the home
crowd in 1988, and the people in charge of the olympic hockey program
believe that the only way to do it is to start preparing for it four
years ahead of time, and form a team that can play together as a unit
for three hockey seasons.  The team has been formed, and they're getting
their game experience by playing various teams and entering tournaments
like Moscow's Izvestia tournament.
