I'm a Republican. Don't let Trump keep a GOP majority. | Opinion
I had a chance to share the stage with Donald Trump in 2016. Instead, I slipped out a side door. I was the Republican nominee for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District, speaking at Sen. Joni Ernst's second annual Roast and Ride, where Trump was the headliner. I had never supported him, and I didn't want my campaign associated with him. I took my concerns to Iowa GOP chairman Jeff Kaufmann. He understood and told me I should feel free to leave, so I did.

Top 22 Players From 2022 World Junior Championship
EDMONTON – The most unique World Junior Championship ever held is now in the books. Canada secured its 19th gold medal in the most dramatic fashion and gave what was a kind of weird tournament an especially memorable ending. I was on scene for the tournament and though an unexpected bout with COVID kept me out of the arena for a few days, I still watched almost every second of every game in the tournament with the first two and last three days live and the rest on video.

2022 World Juniors: Team Canada Roster Breakdown
IIHF Chris Peters breaks down Canada's roster for the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship Aug 2, 2022 by Chris Peters A lot has changed in the world since Canada initially was due to host the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship last December before several positive tests among multiple teams led to that event’s cancellation after a few days. Now as we get set to restart that tournament in Edmonton Aug. 9, Canada’s roster will look quite a bit different, but that will be true of most teams.

Hockey Sense Roundup: Olympic excitement builds as U.S. leans into youth movement
Almost immediately after the World Junior Championship was canceled, I started thinking about the Olympics. The disappointment of the NHL not going was still there, especially since I really wanted to see Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews and this newer generation of player on that stage. While we won’t get that, I still think we’re going to get something compelling, which I wasn’t convinced of before. For a lot of hockey fans, that may take some more convincing.
2022 Olympics: NHL prospects believed to be in mix for Canada, USA rosters
The 2022 Olympic Winter Games open in less than a month. We’d normally have a handle on all of the rosters by now, but with the NHL players not participating, it’s created a mad dash to build teams of players outside from the NHL. This is an easier task for the European nations that have domestic pro leagues to pull from, but USA and Canada will have a more difficult task ahead.
Hockey Sense Exclusive: Coach Nate Leaman on World Juniors cancellation, Team USA experience
2022 U.S. National Junior Team (via USA Hockey) In an ideal world, Nate Leaman would have spent his Monday afternoon preparing for a World Junior Championship semifinal, one step away from being able to defend a gold medal and give the United States a chance to win its first ever back-to-back World Junior titles. Instead, he was back in Providence, Rhode Island, still reeling from the shock and disappointment of the abrupt cancellation of the World Juniors last week.

2022 World Juniors Cancelled: My thoughts on a tough day for hockey and where we go next
Not sure there’s a much simpler way to say it than that. The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship was cancelled as three games were forced to be ruled forfeits as omicron weaseled its way into the “protected environment” and made playing a credible tournament impossible. I did a lot of reporting on this already, including how quickly th…
2022 IIHF World Junior Championship cancelled amid COVID-19 concerns

2022 World Juniors Day 3 recap: USA forfeits, Bedard shines as Canada rolls
In a day marred by the abrupt cancellation of the USA-Switzerland game and subsequent forfeit amid positive test results for two USA players, there was just one game played on Tuesday night in Alberta.

The U.S. team is currently in mandatory isolation and did not play in its previously-scheduled game Tuesday against Switzerland.
2022 World Juniors: Thoughts on Team USA's COVID-related forfeit, where things go from here

Two American players tested positive for COVID-19, which triggered a mandatory period of isolation for the entire team and staff.

2022 World Juniors Day 2 recap: Game summaries, top performers, WJC news
The second day of the World Juniors didn’t feature either North American team, but there were four other games with big group implications played as all eight European nations were in action. There was one upset and a litany of impressive individual performances that highlighted Day 2 action. At the WJC, the margin for error can be so slim.

2022 World Juniors Day 1 Recap: Game summaries, top performers, WJC news
The 2022 World Juniors started off with some explosive games, but largely expected results with most of the favored teams finding a way to get in the win column.

World Junior Roundup: Evaluating Team USA's pre-tournament game; News & notes from WJC
The 2022 World Junior Championship is ever closer now that we’ve gone through a day of pre-tournament games.

2022 World Juniors: Previewing the rest of the field, medal & all-star predictions
The 2022 World Junior Championship will be one of immense intrigue. Canada is the betting favorite and looks to be the best team on paper. But seeing this tournament enough over the last decade, it’s never a guarantee anymore that the Canadians will walk out with gold. This year’s field looks to have a number of legitimate gold medal threats, some possibly effective spoilers and an absolutely loaded field of prospects to watch.

2022 Olympics Plan B: Projecting Canada, U.S. rosters if NHLers don't go to Beijing
Hockey fans are starting to realize that they may have to come to terms with the fact that the Olympic men’s hockey tournament we were expecting is looking less and less likely. If the NHL players do decide collectively to go, there’s still a good chance a number of players will opt out given the revelations of the possibility of stringent quarantine laws if a player tests positive while competing at the Olympics.

Peters: Projecting Team USA's 2022 Beijing Olympic Roster
The next month is critical in whether or not NHL players will be participating in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, which are scheduled to begin on Feb. 4. Jan. 10 is the last day the NHL and NHLPA can pull the plug on this whole thing and as our own Frank Seravalli reported this week, the situation is tenuous.

Peters: Projecting Team USA's Beijing 2022 Olympic Roster
In the last month since our last projected roster dropped, there has been some developments. The biggest one is that Jack Eichel has had his surgery and his projected recovery timeline may allow him to compete in the Olympics, but that is very far from a sure thing. It’s at least in the realm of possibility now. On top of that, a number of players have raised their hand to be counted among players that could or should be in the mix for U.S. roster spots.
What has gone wrong for Habs rookie Cole Caufield?
Entering the season as the betting favorite to win the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league’s rookie of the year, Cole Caufield’s start to his first full campaign with the Montreal Canadiens has been anything but Calder worthy. With just one assist through his first 10 games this season, an expected source of production has gone cold, not unlike most of the rest of the Habs’ offense. As a result, Montreal sent Caufield to the AHL’s Laval Rocket on Monday.
Peters: Projecting Team USA's Beijing 2022 Olympic roster
The pre-Olympic buildup for Team USA has been one of uncertainty that only got a bit more uncertain in the last week.
