The World U17 Hockey Challenge begins today in British Columbia. Eight teams represented by six countries will compete in the international tournament that showcases the next wave of talent in the world. Most of the players in the tournament are either eligible for the 2019 or 2020 NHL draft, and if that didn’t make you feel old already, some former NHLers’ sons are playing in the tournament as well. Canada will field three different teams; Canada Black, Canada White and Canada Red. Other countries making the trip to Western Canada are Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden, and the United States.
