The Montreal Canadiens will be well represented at Team Canada’s final selection camp for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championship. The tournament will take place in Montreal and Toronto, starting on Boxing Day. The gold medal will be handed out on January 5th.
Team Canada was formerly a perennial winner of this event. From 2005-09, Canada won gold in five straight events. They followed those tournaments up with a pair of silver medals and then won a bronze in 2012.
Since then however, Canada has not been a dominant team at the annual event. With the best teenage hockey players in the world competing, it appears the rest of the world has finally caught up to Canada.
