Each Christmas HC Davos of Switzerland hosts the Spengler Cup hockey tournament. They invite four other hockey clubs over to play in their rink. This year the visitors are Khimik of Russia, Mora IK of Sweden, EHC Eisbären Berlin, and Team Canada, a pick-up team made up of Canadians playing for European clubs. The tournament has been going on since 1923. Pat Quinn is coaching the Canadians. In the NHL lockout year Davos won with Joe Thornton and Martin St-Louis on its roster. Sportsnet is broadcasting the games, beginning with Canada vs Mora on Boxing day.
