While uncertainty still clouds the North American hockey landscape, Monday evening’s announcement of the schedule for the 2021 World Junior Hockey Championship gives us some clarity as to when we will see some top prospects back on the ice. Like the NHL playoffs, this year’s World Juniors are going to be played in a bubble in Edmonton and will begin on Christmas Day. With major junior and NCAA hockey schedules in flux, the World Juniors will be the first chance for a number of prospects to get back into meaningful game action since their seasons were cut short last March.
