Sometimes it does pay to stay up late

The award for the coolest experience on this trip now goes to what just happend about 30 minutes ago. I'm sitting in the lobby of our hotel waiting with some of the boys for some pizza and in walks the entire World Junior Champions Team Finland. They're wearing their gold medals and these unbelievable golden hockey helmets, singing and dancing.  I have to say, it's great to see those boys so happy and proud of their accomplishment.  They were incredibly friendly with us, allowing our boys to take pictures with them, sharing their helmets for pictures, and even allowing one of the boys to put on a gold medal. These boys are on top of the world and they took a few minutes out of their night for us.  Congrats Team Finland! I hope our boys take away from this that no matter how big you are, it's always important to remember the people around you.
