The World Junior Championship in Vancouver and Victoria are through the quarterfinals and three out of four of the Columbus Blue Jackets prospects are moving on. Through the quarterfinals, we’ve seen some good, bad and ugly performances.
Swiss defenseman Tim Berni has played well for the small mountain nation. The Columbus Blue Jackets 6th round pick from this summer is the power play quarterback and top pairing defenseman for the team that upset the Swedes in the quarterfinals.
Berni has been all over the ice defensively for the Swiss and has really impressed as an 18-year-old.
