CANADA COACHES: Team Canada's coaching staff of Pat Quinn, Jacques Martin,
Ken Hitchcock and Wayne Fleming met in Banff, Alta., two weeks ago to formulate
the official game plan for the World Cup of Hockey. "We had an itinerary of things we wanted to discuss, just like we did for Salt Lake," Quinn said. " We had a lot of things to go over, we just wanted to make sure everything was in place, everything from daily schedules to discussions of the roster to a technical package - basically a system of play. "So we spent three days going through everything so that we would be ready when the guys come in at training camp (Aug. 20)." Quinn said everybody got along just fine despite the harsh words exchanged between Martin and Hitchcock after the Ottawa-Philadelphia brawl last season. "They're like the odd couple, they're both funny," Quinn said. ``We can't shut Hitch up, he keeps babbling away. But it's an interesting group. There's a lot of respect there for each other, I feel fortunate to be working with them." |
