It didn’t come easy for Colorado Avalanche prospect defenseman Sean Behrens as he waited an entire year for his chance to contribute and earn a medal at the World Junior Championship. He had to sit out the aborted first run of the 2022 tournament due to a positive COVID-19 test. In the restart over the summer Behrens was able to join the team but light usage as the seventh defenseman and then subsequently an injury in his first game pretty much ended the tournament for him before it got started as the Americans made an early exit with a loss in the quarterfinals as well.
