08:24 AM ET 12.11 | In advance of the IIHF World Junior Championship, team execs have another reason to curse the lockout. The National Hockey League cancelled another 104 regular season games on Monday, continuing the lockout through Dec. 30. So, how does that change Team Canada's selection process, you ask? "Our plan from Day 1 has been to pick the 23 guys we think will best represent our country and we can't change that," said head coach Steve Spott on Monday. ... "You don't want to have to use a Plan B, but ultimately, sure, I've got enough steno pads on the go to keep anybody busy. We've got Roster A, B and C." ... Spott said there's a chance they could recall players they cut should the NHL and the NHLPA suddenly strike a deal.
