The World Juniors have always been a fascinating tournament to watch. It’s usually the best-on-best international tournament that gets the most attention of hockey fans, and fans of the Ottawa Senators have been spoiled in recent years with the amount of players receiving prime roles in the high-pressure situation. This year’s tournament has much of the same intrigue, but a whole host of additional talking points to discuss given the social context in which everything is going to take place... literally.
We’re still surprised that the International Ice Hockey Federation is somehow going ahead with the 2021 World Juniors.
