These games are instrumental in Hockey Canada evaluation of which players get invited to national junior team final selection camp.
McKenzie seems to have been led to believe that these games hold a lot of sway as well. Canada-Russia is always a big series, particularly this year with the lockout - the WJC is going to be a big deal and these games are being watched very closely.
