Is there going to be a Canada Cup type series, or any other preseason tournament this year? If so, what are going to be the dates, etc.? I realize that as a fan I should already know this, but being a fan in a US city without an NHL team and trying to keep informed is like being a Pentacostal in a gulag.

Nope, no Canada Cup. The Canada Cup is (I think) held every 4 years and, since there was one last year, there won't be one this year. However, the major international spectacular this season will be the appearance of Russian squad teams around Christmas. The only game that I know about for sure is the rematch of Red Army vs. Montreal on New Year's Eve! --- Carlo Sgro ...![ihnp4||decvax||allegra||clyde||utzoo]!watmath!watcgl!electro!carlo Computer Graphics Division Electrohome Canada Kitchener, Ontario

No. However, I remember reading in the paper a while ago that a couple Russian teams would be coming over around Christmas to play some NHL teams. The highlight game is supposed to be a rematch involving Montreal and Central Red Army (?), December 31 -- 10 years after their 3-3 game, "considered to be the best international game ever played."
