The World Juniors are almost upon us! Normally, hockey’s most exciting tournament would be yet another excuse to celebrate the holiday season. Instead, that the tournament is being played at all stands as a moral dilemma unto itself. In the months leading up to the tournament, members of Sweden’s coaching staff tested positive for COVID-19, as did dozens of potential players.
Upon arrival to Edmonton, eight players from Team Germany tested positive, along with two more staff members for Sweden. As such, I feel it’s important to express that this tournament probably shouldn’t be played.
So, let’s take a quick look at what to expect from the teams in Group A, followed by Group B tomorrow. Register your Premium-membership at eliteprospects.com to get access to thia article and more quality, in-depth coverage at EP Rinkside
