Eugene Melnyk Great Quotations

This whole bid process has been a great experience for me personally. It's given me an even deeper appreciation of how much hockey means to such a broad cross-section of the Ottawa community. I felt it was very important for us to bring a strong delegation to Calgary. I'm confident we gave Hockey Canada and the site selection committee a lot to ponder on why the nation's capital would be the perfect backdrop for hosting the World Juniors.
