NHL Network has announced that, for the first time ever, the network will be hosting every game of the 2021 IIHF World Juniors Championship, including the four days of exhibition games leading up to the tournament proper. Previous World Juniors have overlapped with the NHL’s schedule, but with the NHL eyeing a January 13, 2021 start date, NHL Network will be available for the entirety of the top-level men’s juniors tournament.
After the exhibition games and ahead of the opening games, the channel will air a special NHL Tonight: 2021 World Junior Championship Preview on Thursday, December 24 at 3 p.
