5/25/09: Team captain Martin Rechsteiner sums up the Canada Cup 2009: "The Chicago Blues participated for the fourth time in the Canada Cup in Toronto. Due to the high level in the Elite division and the small team roster, the success from the previous years could not be repeated. All the 3 round robin games were lost in the final minutes. The last game about rank 10 was lost as well. The team finished on rank 11 in the Elite division."
