Subway Super Series

The Subway Super Series (formerly known as ADT Canada Russia Challenge) is a six game series featuring four teams: three from the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) versus Russia's National Junior hockey team. Within the Canadian Hockey League umbrella, one team from each of its three leagues — the Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and Western Hockey League — compete in two games against the Russian junior team.

The 2009 Subway Super Series was held in six cities across Canada, with two cities for each league within the Canadian Hockey League. The series begun on November 16, 2009, and concluded on November 26, 2009. Both Western Hockey League games were held in the province of British Columbia. Former Victoria Cougar goaltender and Hall of Famer, Grant Fuhr was named Honourary Captain for the first game in the series, held in Victoria on November 25, 2009.^[119] The next night, retired Kelowna fire chief, Gerry Zimmermann, was named Honourary Captain for the final game of the series, who was a popular local citizen who led Kelowna through the devastating Okanagan Mountain Park Fire that burned 200 homes in 2003.^[120]

All six games were televised nationwide on Rogers Sportsnet, which broad casted both games from the Western Hockey League.

Results

In the first game of the two part series between Team WHL and Team Russia, Team WHL scored two goals en route to a 2–1 win in front of 6,695 fans at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia. Goaltender, Igor Bobkov of Team Russia and forward Levko Koper of Team WHL, were named Players of the Game for their respective teams.^[121] The next night at Prospera Place in Kelowna, British Columbia, Team WHL defeated Team Russia 4-2 to end the series and give the CHL a clean 6-0 sweep. Goaltender Igor Bobkov was named Team Russia's Player of the Game for the second straight night, while Brandon McMillan was named Team WHL's Player of the Game.^[122]
