JOE GRAVELLESE, BC INTERRUPTION:
The 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship starts on Monday, with the USA taking on Latvia at 3:30 PM on the NHL Network.
Steve Mears and Dave Starman, the play by play and color commentary team for US games on the NHL Network, were nice enough to join us to preview the tournament - especially the BC/Hockey East angle.
For BC fans, we’re especially interested in seeing what kind of role Colin White, Joe Woll and Casey Fitzgerald will play on this year’s US team. I know the expectation is that Woll is likely to be a backup this year, but how big of a factor might the BC guys be for the Americans in this tournament?
