Edmonton Oilers forward Jordan Eberle is the No. 1 player in Team Canada history at the World Juniors, as determined by a poll of 25 hockey experts for TSN's Team Canada's 40 Greatest Juniors special (Tonight at 7:30pm et/4:30pm et on TSN and TSN Mobile TV).
Eberle headlines a list of 40 elite Canadian World Juniors players that includes Eric Lindros, Wayne Gretzky, Jason Allison, and Manny Legace.
The list was compiled in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the World Juniors tournament.
Eberle played for Team Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championship in 2009 and 2010, winning a gold and silver medal. In 2009, Eberle scored one of the most memorable goals in Canadian World Juniors history against Team Russia in the semifinal round. The following year, he was named tournament MVP and Best Forward.
Eberle is also Team Canada's all-time leading goal-scorer (14) and second in points (26) – five behind scoring leader Lindros, who represented Canada at the tournament in 1990, 1991, and 1992.
