I’m American and there’s no way this could be the most embarrassing loss. It’s juniors, guys are young, it’s preliminary games, and it’s hockey. Single game upsets happen. View this way more as an awesome feel good win for Latvia than some devastating loss for Canada. That’s why you play the game!

[@powwowken2760]

To the Latvian players, this is a win they'll tell their future children about. Meanwhile to the Canadians this was a game they were expected to win 10-0. It's not really shocking when these upsets happen when you look at it in that way. Motivation is pretty important for a group of literal teenagers.

Canadian, here. I don't think the Canadian boys skate any slower or work less hard just because they're playing Latvia. They wouldn't be playing at this level if that were the case. I think Latvia simply had the right game plan and executed on it. It didn't hurt that they had a hot goaltender, either. These surprises aren't actually surprising.

Embarrassing show from Canada and the same problem as I’ve seen many years of them just not showing up. The interviews after the game really made things look bad too. I get the instinct for the coach to take the “burn the tape” line on TV but in the room I would be apoplectic.

I guarantee this will only be the beginning of a dark age for Canada Hockey. Economic inequality is making it extremely hard for talented kids to get into hockey due to the cost of playing so they transition to any other sport that will take a lower physical toll like European football, baseball and basketball. As kids see the success of Canada's soccer and basketball programs they will go for those over hockey and Canada will likely see the impact of the sport decline. Its sad as its a major part of Canadian culture, but of course the corporate class don't care as long as they can make money at the end of the day.
