4–3 win over the Russian juniors sent to compete against the Canadian Hockey League’s
best in the Subway Super Series.
By rights, the guys from Hockey Canada are
in Sherbrooke, Que., to eyeball all candidates
for the world juniors roster, but they could have
stayed home if their assignment had been to
determine whether Drouin should be called. If
he were on the bubble, the rest of the world
shouldn’t bother showing up.
No, the crew from Hockey Canada is gathering intelligence to make tougher calls. They
see enough of Drouin to project him at centre
rather than his usual left wing, enough of Mantha to envision him as the finisher beside
Drouin. They see centre Fredrik Gauthier have
an ordinary game, but not ordinary enough
to erase memories of a strong evaluation
camp in Lake Placid, N.Y., back in August,
when their scouting started in earnest.
By the time they arrive in Sherbrooke,
they’ve watched hundreds of games
between them at arenas across the
country, hundreds more on television.

THE SURE THING
Drouin is the
centrepiece around
whom the team was
built, which is why
his concussion
was such a cause
for concern
onathan Drouin carries the puck out a
couple of strides from the wall at the
half-boards and slows to a stop with
a Russian defenceman bearing down
on him. Less than a breath later, his
hands and stick moving in a blur, he sheds the
blueliner so embarrassingly that you want to
take pity on this visitor to Canada. Three thousand at the Palais des Sports Léopold-Drolet
join the poor duped D-man in a sharp inhalation.
In a private suite overlooking the scene, Brent
Sutter, Ryan Jankowski, Fred Brathwaite and
other officials from Hockey Canada share a
thought bubble: Drouin should be OK moving
over from left wing to centre. And another: It’s
not like there was any doubt.
Drouin has torn up the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League, racking up more than two
points a game since Tampa Bay sent him back
to the Halifax Mooseheads in September. Statistically, Drouin’s evening doesn’t stand out:
a lone assist on a power play goal by Anthony
Mantha of Val d’Or. No matter—Drouin creates
scoring chances all night long in the QMJHL’s

IT’S MID-JANUARY IN PHOENIX, and though his Oklahoma City Thunder
are laying the boots to the hapless Suns with only a couple of minutes left,
there’s no way Kevin Durant is coming out of this game. After all, the chance
to square off against your best friend on basketball’s biggest stage doesn’t
come along every day. Durant isolates at the top of the three-point line and
faces Michael Beasley in a matchup of Maryland’s finest. Durant plants a
quick crossover, but his buddy doesn’t bite. So the Thunder star maintains his dribble, gazes
past Beasley to the hoop and plans his next move.
This scene has played out before—hundreds, maybe thousands of times—dating all the
way back to grade school. Durant, the silent assassin who has always dreamed in gold, and
Beasley, the laid-back prodigy who called himself “Be-Easy.” The pair rose through the ranks
together—often as teammates, sometimes opponents—and rewrote the history books at
every level along the way. Both were high school All-Americans, both compiled enough
awards during their single year at college to make Daniel Day-Lewis blush, and both were
selected second overall in the NBA draft—one year apart.
As Durant surveys the court, it becomes increasingly clear that Beasley, now crouched
low to the ground in an exaggerated defensive stance, is screwed. When God set out to
create the perfect basketball player, he made Michael Jordan. When he got bored and revisited the mould, he gave us Kevin Durant. Cold and calculating, six-foot-nine in your program
(but closer to six-foot-eleven), with a jump shot, extend-o arms and legs that cover the length
of the court in just a few strides. Nothing but options.
With a shrug of Durant’s bony shoulders, Beasley’s heels begin to peel off the floor. That’s
all Durant needs. In two steps, he propels himself to the hoop as a lifetime of shared history
whips past a helpless Beasley. Durant throws down a vicious jam—Dunk of the Year–calibre
work, really. All Beasley can do is watch.
OFF.

at any time. Rate changes shall be made at least 30 days in
advance of the closing date of the first issue to which such

change, cancel the Agreement without incurring short rate

available during the period in which they are earned.
Rebates resulting from any and all earned advertiser
discount adjustments must be used within 6 months after
the end of the period in which they are earned, and will

charge of 2% per month (26.8% per year) from the date

such advertising after the applicable closing date.
(d) Publisher may insert the advertising anywhere in
Publication in its discretion, and any condition on orders
or copy instructions involving the placement of advertising
shall be treated as a positioning request only and cannot be
guaranteed. Publisher’s inability or failure to comply with
any such positioning request shall not relieve Advertiser or

no liability for the failure, for any reason, to publish any
advertising or circulate any issue of Publication.

Watching Bouchard play on the
grandest stages in tennis, it’s clear
her early success isn’t of the flash-inthe-pan variety. Far from it. Against
the biggest names in the sport—
women she grew up admiring—
Bouchard plays with the self-confidence of a decorated veteran, a trait
she says comes naturally. “It’s always
been my dream to be a professional
tennis player, so it’s not like I’m surprised to be here,” says Bouchard, who
started in the sport when she was five.
“This is what I was meant to do.”
