What is your level of excitement given the unique circumstances? Normally it is held in the Winter with players close to mid-season form, since it was cancelled due to COVID they postponed it until now. The timing means training camps are approaching and a number of players that would have been present in the winter are not as they gear up for the pro team camps. Additionally, Hockey Canada is in the midst of a large scandal relating to a sexual assault allegation involving a previous World Juniors team. Finally, Russia is banned by IIHF due to the invasion of Ukraine meaning a potential top prospect in Michkov is not participating.
