shooter27 116 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Why is it that the USA and Canada are always in the same pool at the WJHC? I assume the pools are built off some kind of ranking/seeding, which would make one think they should end up in different pools at some point. Is it simply to guarantee one game between the two teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
