The rebooted version of the 2022 World Junior Championship kicks off today in Edmonton and two top Colorado Avalanche prospects Oskar Olausson and Sean Behrens are poised to take on prominent roles with their respective teams in hopes of winning a gold medal for their country.
Originally planned for last December the event was called off roughly two games into the Round-Robin portion of the schedule when teams began to forfeit games due to COVID-19 protocols. After careful consideration, a redo was planned for the summer with all scores and statistics wiped clean for a full restart.
