While not every Montreal Canadiens prospect gets invited to represent their country at the World Juniors, it’s a fair bet that each respective roster has many that have.
The World Juniors, aside from the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup and the World Under-18s, are really a big opportunity for fans and scouts to get a view of the future. There is no direct correlation between a tremendous world juniors performance leading to a successful NHL career, but some great NHL talents got started there.
For the Canadiens, their roster from 2022-23 featured a zest of players from all over the world.
