WJC Rumors: USA/Canada to be played outdoors in 2018.

One of the bigger rivalries in international hockey might be bringing it outside in a couple of years.

USA and Canada will, as always, meet in the World Junior Championships to determine who in this grandest of contests, whose teenagers are better than the other. And in 2018? They're adding a brand new twist to it.

For those who do know, the WJC in 2018 will be played in Buffalo, beating out Pittsburgh and St. Louis. But many were confused why they'd be making an announcement about this in the seemingly unrelated Ralph Wilson Stadium when there's a perfectly good First Niagara Center 20 minutes up the road?
