TORONTO - Veterans of the world junior hockey championship say the keys to success are found off the ice: have fun, soak in the experience and try to avoid distractions online.

"The biggest thing is have fun, enjoy it," said Brad Boyes, who won bronze and silver with Canada in 2001 and 2002 respectively. "It really does go fast. It's been a long time since I've been there. The biggest thing is enjoy it, compete, win. You might not have another chance to do it.

"You gotta have fun, that's the biggest thing. Take it for what it is but give it everything.
