Led by standout defenseman Ryan Pottruff, U SPORTS International takes on the Russia Federation for gold in the Harbin 2009 Winter Universiade ice hockey final. If it feels a bit like deja vu all over again in 2009, it might be because the two countries matched up with gold on the line in the previous edition of the Winter Universiade. Can Canada leave the People's Republic of China with its fourth Winter Universiade gold in men’s ice hockey, or will the Russian contingent come home victorious this time?

The Canadians sound confident, as their coach Milan Dragicevic said, "We have one goal going over there and that is to bring back the gold and make Canada proud."
