Count Arizona Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse among those who planned to watch Tuesday night's IIHF World Junior Championship gold medal game with a lot of interest.
Crouse played for Team Canada in 2015 and helped it win a gold medal, one of 18 tournament championships for the country. Canada faces Team USA in the 2021 final Tuesday night in Edmonton.
Crouse said he always looked forward to the games on Boxing Day (Dec. 26) as a youngster, and all games after that.
"It's an honor to play for Team Canada and represent your country, and all the other countries as well," Crouse said.
