Hockey fans stay up late/wake up early for Canada-U.S. game
No surprise to find World Juniors trending what with fans on Twitter and Instagram noting the hour and the heroic efforts that brought them to the screen. For some, it required setting a ridiculously early alarm. For others it meant killing time until the puck drop.
