The Ric Flair “Wooooooooooooooo” has become commonplace in Rogers Arena over the years (for better or for worse). If fans do imitate the wrestler’s famous catchphrase during the World Juniors, it won’t be because of defenceman Jett Woo.
On Monday, Canada, Finland, and the Czech Republic announced their rosters for their World Juniors Camps. Goaltender Michael DiPietro was named to Team Canada, while defenceman Toni Utunen was named to Team Finland’s preliminary roster. It wasn’t surprising to see either of those names on World Junior rosters, but one of the bigger surprises was the exclusion of another Canucks prospect.
