Aku Räty named to Finland's World Junior team

Time is really weird right now. The NHL season start date hasn't even been officially announced, and yet we are steadily getting information about the upcoming World Juniors.

Earlier today Chris Peters tweeted out Finland's roster for the upcoming World Juniors Tournament. On that list was the Coyotes' 2019 fifth-round pick Aku Räty.

After being drafted by the Coyotes, Räty went back to Finland. He played 32 games with Kärpät in Finland's top league Liiga as well as 18 games with the Kärpät U20 team in the junior league.

This will be Räty's second trip to the World Juniors after last year.
