Happy New Year, Beautiful People!

Let's start '09 off with, what else, hockey! Future star John Tavares, who was just tearing up the ice at this year's World Junior Championship in Ottawa, is one to watch. On New Year's Eve, Team Canada, fighting back from an early 3-0 deficit, trounced Team USA by a score of 7-4 and now goes on to play Russia in the semi-finals on Saturday night.
