Ryan Kuwabara is a key member of Japan's national ice hockey team currently playing at the Pool A World Championships in Sweden. Kuwabara, a Japanese-Canadian who was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens and now stars for Japan Ice Hockey League champion Kokudo, has agreed once again to keep a journal chronicling some of the team's experiences.
Today we play Slovenia. They won their group in the Pool B World Championships and got the opportunity to move up and play in the A pool this year.
Slovenia also didn't win in its first three games, just like us. This was our first meeting against Slovenia so we didn't know too much about them except what we learned from our pre-game meeting and watching them on video.
