Adam Shell

[FlyBear]

When Adam Shell coached Serbia to a win over Israel at the Division II World Championship earlier this year, it marked a true "hockey is global" moment that only people who love the game can truly appreciate : a Jewish coach from Canada directing the Serbian team while opposing a Catholic French-Canadian coach (and former Stanley Cup winner) in Jean Perron, who was directing the Israeli team.

I wrote the current NHL.com Across the Pond article about Shell and the Serbian program, but wanted to note that side angle, since it didn't fit the context of the article.

Ironic, isn't it? LOL

OK, now I'll go read your article.

If it's anything like the hundreds of others you've done, it will be a very good read.
