Ottawa to Host 2025 World Junior Championship

Gavin McKenna will be there.

I plan on trying to get tickets, but they're going to be stupid.

He'll be there way ahead of that, might be there this year.

Yeah, but that's his draft year, so he'll likely be "more" special then and the hype train could be unreal

Next year already, same as Bedard's 16 years old year (the cancelled one)

I would say no chance. He turns 16 6 days before the tournament starts. Not likely. He good prospect. but he's not that great.

I'm not even convinced he'll be in Ottawa for the '25 tournament. We shall see! With Bedard departing for the pros, he'll at least keep my attention on the WHL for the 2023-'24 season.

There has been three WJCs with two NHL arenas being used, right? 2012 with Calgary and Edmonton and 2015/2017 with Toronto and Montreal.

I can see most of the upcoming ones being in one NHL arena and one junior arena just like the Ottawa one will be.
