Team Canada has named its 25-man roster for the 2026 World Junior Championship, with the tournament set to begin from 6.
Adam Jiricek and Czechia dominated Denmark, while Slovakia's Chrenko netted a hat trick. Canada escaped Latvia in overtime.
The World Juniors kicked off on Boxing Day with a four-pack of games featuring the tournament's presumptive top five teams.
Michael Misa is used to filling the net. The skillful centre finished last season with 134 points across 65 games in the Ontario Hockey League before the San Jose Sharks made him the No. 2 overall pick at June's NHL draft.
Offensive firepower fuels the Czechs, but defensive strength is key. Two new skaters arrive Monday, boosting their lineup ahead of a crucial Finland showdown. The status of injured defenseman Radim Mrtka is the player on everybody's mind.
Day 2 at the 2026 World Juniors was another busy four-game slate that included a couple of tighter-than-expected games for Canada and USA.
It’s only the third day of the 2026 World Junior Championship in Minnesota and the tournament is already delivering in the excitement department.
