The World Juniors have long been Canada’s tournament as they have been the most dominant team in the tournament. For a long time the tournament would come down to the second place battle as nobody could beat the Canadians. A lot of that has changed in the past few years though as the Canadians have lost their grip on the tournament. A large part of this has been the rise of their neighbours to the south in the USA.

The World Juniors is always considered a Canadian Tournament but last year in Buffalo they did not take home the prize. Instead the Russians took home the prize and are back this year to begin their own streak that the Canadians are known for. With a number of top prospects the Russians look to dominate Pool A and advance into the playoffs.
