Pre-Game Talk: 2022 World Junior Hockey Championship

[McDrai]

Something to drown out the Oilers sucking right now.

We should have a pretty skilled team with Perfetti, Wright and Bedard potentially on the roster:

Monday they become available to STH who bought the package and I assume available to anyone else as well.

The Czechs thank you in advance for your support!

Who are the top three players to watch on each team? I keep looking for threads on probable rosters. I have four games here in Red Deer. Just wondering - who's good on Russia (besides Michkov and Petrov ), USA, Sweden, Slovakia, Switzerland?

The Russians quad is pretty stacked... Gold contenders for sure.

Congrats to Cossa, Guenther, Guhle and Neighbours on making the team.

Wish they were future Oilers.

Excited to see what Bourgault can do in this tourney. Bedard and Wright should turn some heads as well.

What is the policy on children 12 and under to attend games, does everyone need to be vaccinated regardless of age?

No just proof for the adults (and older teens I think) as far as I know, because kids (especially under 12) likely can't have had both shots yet.

makes sense but is there anything that specifically states that? When buying on ticketmaster it states the organizer requires all attendees to be vaccinated.

From my ticketing email:

"Please note, proof of full COVID vaccination will be required to enter Rogers Place for those 12 and over, and all attendees will be required to wear masks while in the venue. Negative tests will not be accepted."

I did see that too, but I suspect that's because only Adults (really) can buy tickets that way, more or less. No worries. We're bring our 6 yr old to the Pre-Tourney game Wednesday, and he's only got the one shot, so hopefully it's fine He literately can't have the 2nd yet.

 

[Marty McSurly]

Good summary and for those without a sub who are interested in the Xavier write up.

"I’m a big, big fan of Bourgault and he turned me into an even bigger one this week. He has added some serious deception to his game, with little stutters in his release that force the goalie down early and fake passes that force defenders to bite."

This matches with what he showed in pre-season too.

Im really interested to see how much he plays. He definitely has the skill but the coaching staff for team canada definitely makes weird decisions the past few years so heres hoping he can play a big role.

It’s getting close to time! I’ll create the draft thread tonight and we will see if everyone is back for another year.

Important Information on Event Entry Requirements & Health Checks - Ticketmaster Blog



A member of our group is under 12 years of age and is ineligible for vaccination, can he/she still attend an event requiring vaccination?

Most Event Organizers requiring Health Checks will ask unvaccinated fans under 12 years of age to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 diagnostic test prior to entering the venue. Check your event page or the Event Organizer’s website (usually the venue’s site) for specific diagnostic requirements or entry protocols related to this age group. You can also locate free testing in your area by using this helpful resource developed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Also this, so I'm checking myself, but I don't think it will be a big deal.

Russia snubbed a bunch of players who were playing in North America. Seemed purposeful.

So no Petrov.

typical of the Russian team. Always favoured played that developed in Europe vs NA players.
