Happy 2019, everyone!
New Year’s Eve always delivers some great hockey at the World Junior Championship, and this year was no exception. As group play wound down to a close, we saw goals and penalties, slump-busters, and the stomach flu decimate lineups. Whether you were watching hockey or other sports, or celebrating the new year, I hope you had a great last day of 2018.
Unfortunately, four teams did not.
