2025 World Jr's

Whos watching?

I watched the game last night, Canada played well.

I will admit I do not have same interest as the past, maybe
because of scandal, although has nothing to do with this group.

I do feel those responsible are getting left off the hook,
especially the one's who run it and paid for stuff under cover
took, money rings, etc. We will never hear the truth of it all.

Yeah I watched the game last night as well. Decent game.

Yeah the controversy will always taint me his tournament moving forward. Hopefully justice is served some day.

Watched the game and I thought Team Canada played well. I'm curious as to what led to Tanner Howe getting an unsportsmanlike penalty

Not happy with Hockey Canada over the last few years

MacKenna will be one to watch. Just turned 17 & 1 of 3 underagers.
He was a phenom on the ice for NWT men's hockey at last year's Canada Games in Chtown.
Draft eligible in 2026, so quite a stage for him this year.

I watched.
Canada played well.
Dominated actually. Czech goalie prevented score from being worse.
I did think about the scandal briefly, but can’t hold it against these kids.
They had and have no control or input on it.

Big test will be the Americans on New Year’s eve.

Marc Normally I would agree, until I watched tonights game,
Latvia played a great discipline game and upset Canada

one for the history books, Canada is on the wrong side of that history.
Be intersting to see what they do next.

Yeah you could tell Canada was not sure what to do with that game. Like they expected a walk in the park. Ran into a great goalie that gave his team a great chance and they took it.

Penalty’s are are going to kill us this tournament. Man I hope they find a backyard rink to practice their power play and penalty kill on today.

Yah, I agree.
I came to same conclusion.

Canadian holiday tradition of angrily berating teenagers continues

OSTRAVA, CZ - The long-held Canadian holiday tradition of berating 16-19-year-olds for losing a hockey game started a few days earlier this year.

Unfortunately quite true

Another dissapointing exit, was not a good looking team and all kinds of blame to go around.
Bad reffing ? well its world Jr's they are always far tighter called than regular Jr hockey.

How about the amount of penalties ?

they couldn't score, 2 more goals than Lativa

About Cameron cancelling 3 practices in final few days, I think most agree
they could have used alot more time on Ice together.

From picking of team, 3 of the top Jr players in country were not even invited to try out camp.
Make you wonder whats going on and whats next.

To me, I can handle them losing if they compete hard, Not much of that.
Looked like a lot of great players, but no team.
this of all places you need to play for logo on the front of jersey
not name on the back.

Hard to watch, sad to see.
