WJC: Who will be Canada’s starter - Ian Scott or Michael DiPietro

Hockey Canada has a small problem. It’s one of those “nice problems to have”, however. Both Ian Scott and Michael DiPietro have been good enough to look like they could be the starter for Team Canada at the World Junior Championships. But even if the coaches run a tandem at first, they have to pick one goalie for the games that really count, so they have to decide. Talk tandems all you want, when it comes to goalies, there really can be only one starter.

Scott, a 2017 draft pick of the Leafs (110th overall), is 6’3”, 183 lbs and turns 20 a week after this tournament ends.
