The 2018 World Juniors tournament wrapped up on Friday night, with all three Kings prospects taking home medals this year. Canada defeated Sweden 3-1 in the gold medal game, and the United States took the bronze by winning their match against the Czech Republic with an emphatic 9-3 score.
Let’s take a look at how each Kings prospect fared over the course of the tournament.
While the other Kings prospects competing at World Juniors were more of role players, expectations were high for Kale Clague. He leads the Brandon Wheat Kings in scoring by a defenseman and has already hit new career highs in goals (10) and total points (47) a little over halfway through his season, and is generally regarded as one of the better defensemen in the WHL.
