He's Brian Bellows' son, Kieffer.  Names were misplaced (my bad) on some shoddy keyboard typing.

Yeah, if I had to guess I'd say I probably started posting here around 2003. The site's been up in some form since the 90s so there's still a bunch of regulars/lurkers who have been here longer.

Damn, when you were born I was suffering through the Doug Carpenter/Tom Watt era of the Leafs.  You also know nothing about Ballard.  I envy you.

How many here remember Tim Horton in a Leafs jersey?

Mike Pelyk? Jim Dorey?

Moi aussi. 

As for Tim Horton, I remember him more as a member of the Sabres.

Alright Canada!

Team Canada didn't take the Czechs lightly.  Nope.  They sought to continue their offensive mastery in this Semi-Final, a day after cruising past the Swiss 8-2.  The Canadians made good their scoring juggernaut as Team Canada swamped Team Czech Republic by a score of 7-2 Thursday.

Led by Drake Batherson, whose hat-trick propelled him into a three-way tie alongside the Team USA's Kieffer Bellows & The Czech's so Filip Zedina.
Not just Batherson but other goals came from the likes of  Maxime Comtois, Sam Steel, Jordan Kyrou, & Boris Katchouk.

So, Gold Medal game here we come, as Team Canada faces off against Team Sweden, 4-2 winners in their Semi-Final over Team USA.

GO CANADA GO!

Other WJHC Semi-Final Thursday results:

Team Sweden held back Team USA 4-2, thus earning it a berth in the Gold Medal game against Team Canada.

This victory happened to be Sweden's first playoff win at a WJHC against a US squad since the year 1996

Maple Leafs prospect Timothy Lillejgren had this to say:

"We played a pretty good game today," said Timothy Liljegren. "The U.S. had home advantage, but we've had a good feeling in the group for a while now. This was our goal all along, to play in the gold medal game."

Teqm USA niw goes on to play Team Czech Republic in the Bronze Medal game.
