Well, that certainly was a roller coaster. The World Juniors had just gotten underway when the whole thing crumbled apart due to what looks to be negligence on the IIHF’s behalf or, at the very least, some very poor planning. The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler and Daily Faceoff’s Chris Peters have done a fantastic job of reporting from this tournament as well as documenting the fiasco with the hotel situation in Red Deer. It’s a mess overall and I sincerely hope that they find a way to bring back not just the World Juniors, but the women’s U18 tournament and all other events that were cancelled.
