Former Hockey Night in Canada host Don Cherry blasts Team Canada as cheap
Former NHL head coach and Hockey Night in Canada host Don Cherry is blasting Team Canada as being too frugal in the World Junior Championships.
Team Canada isn't exactly impressing in the 2025 World Junior Championships in their mission to have a better showing than last year's 5th place finish.

Wasn't even invited. I would say they need a full-time coach and GM, no doubt about it. And you know what? Has to have total control.
