WJHC Predictions
The 2006-2007 World Junior Hockey Championship will be taking place in Sweden and two-time defending champions, Canada, are the favourites once again. We are predicting that they will win their third straight gold medal this year.
The main competition will come from the United States and Finland, who Canada downed Tuesday night 7-2 in an exhibition game.
We believe the dark horses this year will be the Russians as almost everybody is counting them out, but we feel they can never be counted out at the World Juniors.
No matter what, this has become a Christmas tradition for many Canadians and hopefully our country will once again showcase our talented junior hockey players.
Canada's Players to Watch:
Bryan Little
Andrew Cogliano
Steve Downie
Brad Marchand
Marc Staal
Carey Price
It should be a great tournament. Canada kicks round robin play off Boxing Day at 12:30 pm ET on TSN. TSN will also be streaming the games live on http://www.tsn.ca/.
