[Blade Paradigm]

Group B plays in Victoria during the group stage, so the Hughes and Kakko viewings won't happen in Vancouver until at least the quarterfinals.

On the other hand, Vancouver will see a lot of Team Canada and Team Russia. If the final rosters are organized as expected, watch for Vasili Podkolzin, Kirby Dach, and Dylan Cozens.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Really hoping Rathbone makes it for Team USA.

Would be worth the price of admission to see Hughes and Rathbone patroling the back end with the skill and dynamic skating that they both posses

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

So who are our potentials?

Canada:
DiPietro, Woo

USA:
Hughes, Rathbone

Finland:
Utunen

Have I missed anyone?

 

[Wall of Wonder]

Madden?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Dipietro should be the starter until he loses it
Woo probably baby makes it as the physical element Canada always like to have at least one
Excited to watch Hughes

 

[Hyzer]

Ticket prices are pretty insane.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Dipietro should be the starter until he loses it
Woo probably baby makes it as the physical element Canada always like to have at least one
Excited to watch Hughes

I feel like DiPietro and Hughes are locks, while Woo and Utunen are likely. Rathbone and Madden could be dark horse candidates.

It would be pretty surprising if Woo made it. Isn't even the most likely guy on his own junior team. 2020 more likely for him.

Nando Eggenberger who was at our prospects camp will be playing for Switzerland.

Jett Woo-s coach at Moose Jaw is Tim Hunter.....guess whos coaching Team Canada. Tim Hunter.

And if you know anything about Tim Hunter from his days heres then youd know Tim loves agressive in your face intimidation hockey. Woo will have a very good chance to be part of this team

 

[Bitz and Bites]

I got the full ticket package for the Victoria games and there should be some good games with Sweden,Finland and the US.
Would be awesome to see Rathbone along with Hughes and Utunen as well.

 

[Icebreakers]

So who are our potentials?

Canada:
DiPietro, Woo

USA:
Hughes, Rathbone

Finland:
Utunen

Have I missed anyone?

Tyler madden is elegible. Doubt he makes it but Woo and Rathbone are longshots too

 

[Zombotron]

If any of you knows where the other training camps are being held, fill us in. I'm curious to know if any other camps are being held in Canada like the Kazakhs are doing

Forgot about Hunter which does change things a bit.

But he's not one of the top 7 junior defenders in the country on merit, it's more than just Hunter making the decisions, and Hunter also has to advocate for another of his own guys in Josh Brook.

 

[RamjakSports]

Just wondering if anyone has heard any more info about camps etc

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Just wondering if anyone has heard any more info about camps etc

I believe Canada is announcing their selection camp roster on Monday - I thought I read that somewhere.

 

[Zombotron]

The Russians are holding their training camp in Vernon.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Have tickets for Sweden Denmark in chillywhack

 

[topched88]

I’m going to Canada russia NYE. I’ll be the drunk guy with the angry looking wife.

 

[Zombotron]

The Swiss are holding their training camp in the Comox Valley. That brings our count of Island-based training camps to 4.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

DiPietro is on Canada's selection camp roster. No Woo unfortunately.

https://www.tsn.ca/hockey-canada-announces-world-junior-selection-camp-roster-1.1220060?

Utunen made Finland's camp roster.

Jukka Jalonen valitsi peräti kahdeksan ensikertalaista Moskovan turnaukseen, Nuorten Leijonien MM-leiriryhmä nimetty

 

[Breakers]

DiPietro is about to be traded in the OHL.

His name keeps popping up in trade rumors

 

[Hodgy]

So, Hughes is a lock, Dipietro and Utonen are likely, and Madden and Rathbone are relative long shots.

It would be pretty pathetic if a team as bad as this team has been over the last few years only sends two or three players to the world juniors. Should be sending five or more hours

 

[Zombotron]

See you in Everett, Madden

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

It would be pretty surprising if Woo made it. Isn't even the most likely guy on his own junior team. 2020 more likely for him.

Nando Eggenberger who was at our prospects camp will be playing for Switzerland.

MMmmm... egg and burger w/swiss.

Anyone else just change their breakfast plans? Triple O's Here I come.
