It's almost World Juniors time! That wonderful time of the year when hockey countries around the world get even more emotionally invested than normal about teenagers who are really, really good at playing the game.
Team USA hasn't won since 2013. Since then it's been Sweden, Finland, and... Canada, who will be looking to repeat their title.
Here's the thing with the World Juniors, though: the nationalism is exciting, but then there's the NHL element. Many of the players on these teams have already been drafted into the NHL, giving fans another level of emotional investment.
What I'm getting at is: there are two Canadians you'll probably be cheering for this holiday season as well.
