Vancouver Canucks prospect Olli Juolevi will captain Team Finland at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship.

Though fans weren’t always happy with the Vancouver Canucks’ top draft pick in 2017, there really isn’t much to dislike about defenceman Olli Juolevi. Another great honour in an already outstanding junior career, Juolevi will captain Team Finland, the reigning champions, at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship.
