Following an NHL team’s prospects is usually not an easy thing to do.
With prospects playing in isolated rinks all the way from Swift Current, Saskatchewan to Jyväskylä, Finland, and in countless other place in between, it’s an incredible challenge for fans to get to observe these players in the most important of ways: watching them compete live.
Luckily for fans, however, every year one such grand opportunity takes place: the IIHF World Junior Championship.
Consisting of ten different nations, the best prospects from each country compete against one another to fight for international hockey glory.
