A Canadian tradition for hockey loving households (besides traveling somewhere warm for winter) is to watch the World Juniors play hockey over the holidays. Games start boxing day and continue on into the New Year. Traveling to watch an athletic tournament is a popular trip theme for the sporting enthusiast.
This year the World Juniors are being held in Sweden.

Yay World Juniors! I love this time of year, if not only for the great hockey!!!
Right on! Nothing like a good hockey game on Boxing Day and New Years’ Eve.
