Columbus Blue Jackets Finish 2017 IIHF World Championships with Mixed Results

The 2017 IIHF World Championships concluded with one Columbus Blue Jackets player taking home the Gold. William Karlsson and Team Sweden defeated Team Canada in a shootout.

Karlsson was one of seven players in the CBJ organization that represented their country in the tournament hosted in Cologne, Germany and Paris, France. The CBJ players and prospects had varying levels of success and some may be wondering what’s next after some poor performances.
