The past week was an exciting but fleeting glimpse of the future as NHL prospects took part in World Junior development camps.
The end to Team Canada's camp was a difficult one, as the squad was defeated in all three of its exhibition contests. Canada lost 2-1 to Finland in overtime and was defeated 5-1 by both Sweden and the United States in Plymouth, Michigan, as part of USA Hockey's National Junior Evaluation Camp. The Canadians opened their camp with a few training sessions in Toronto before traveling south of the border.
Colorado Avalanche prospect Tyson Jost of Canada was able to post one assist in three games, coming on Philadelphia Flyers prospect Travis Konecny’s goal against Finland last Wednesday.
