Snow is here and the holidays are near - that means one thing for the hockey faithful: the World Junior Championship! We'll break down the favorites, the schedule, and a bizarre pre-tournament situation on this week's Breakout! Hockey Program! Don't worry, though, we have plenty of NHL news and commentary as well. Topics include the HBO 24/7 series, the hiring of Donald Fehr by the NHLPA (finally), news on the next TV deals for the NHL in the U.S., the continued success of the Thrashers, the Flames stumble yet again, and much more!
