Hockey Canada President and CEO Tom Renney made his first public comments about Team Canada's loss at the World Junior Hockey Championships yesterday. As reported by The Canadian Press, he ended his statement with an important point:
The fact of that matter is we came up short. We have to sit back and evaluate why and look for solutions and not point fingers.
We’re going to take a real good hard look at this and reflect upon it once the emotions subside
This is a reasonable conclusion to make in a situation where there is an unexpected result, even in a tournament like this where you are often one defeat from being knocked out.
