After an initial cancelation in December, the 2022 World Junior Championship kicks off again in August and the host country of Canada has its eyes on their 19th gold medal in the history of the tournament.
Canada is coming off a silver medal in the 2021 tournament. Led by Dylan Cozens and Devon Levi, the team went undefeated in group play and made it all the way to the gold medal game. They suffered their only loss of the tournament in that matchup, which came against the United States.
The team is looking to get back onto the top of the podium, as it will be led this summer by Ducks prospect Mason McTavish, Blue Jackets draft pick Kent Johnson and 2023 draft standout, Connor Bedard.
