Games start tomorrow in Halifax, Nova Scotia and in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
Hightlight of day one will be Czech Rep. vs Canada. And maybe Finland and Switzerland can have a close game too.
Five Blackhawks prospects compete at the games:
Colton Dach (F), Canada (2021 2nd round, 62 OA) Ethan Del Maestro (D), Canada (2021 4th round, 105 OA) Kevin Korchinski (D), Canada (2022 1st round, 7 OA) Nolan Allan (D), Canada (2021 1st round, 32 OA) Victor Stjernborg, (C), Sweden (2021 4th round, 108 OA)
The top 2 ranked prospects for the 2023 entry draft, Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli, will both represent Canada.
Canada beat Finland in OT last year in Edmonton, after this miracle save in OT by McTavish:

Might be an unpopular opinion but the wjc doesn’t seem nearly as competitive—or exciting—as it was even then years ago.
Every year it seems to slide more and more the way the wimmens hockey is…less teams seriously competing for the title. Maybe it’s just me.
The tourney seemed more compelling in the past.

It's the most exciting and big and important tournament in hockey that there is. Unless Finland doesn't win gold, of course.

Team Canada at the Spengler Cup has such stars as Beaudin, Wyatt Kalynuk, Brett Connolly and Brendan Perlini (I thought he was British, but I guess Canada got desperate and snuck him in as well).

Finland - Switzerland starts in one hour and I'm already four Christmas IPA's in. I figured since I have to be at work super early tomorrow, I should also start drinking earlier.

Fantilli won’t be the # 2 pick after that kind of performance. Canaduh!

Canadian team is a joke...what a gutless pathetic loss.
More focused on scoring lacrosse goals than on playing a team concept and winning games, apparently.
Just awful. This is what happens when you do not respect an opponent.
Fantilli sucks.

Fantilli gave me Kirby Dach vibes. That’s not good.

Hotdog moves or bust! Princesses need their attention.
Who cares about winning hockey games, right?
