My friends, the date is almost here. The date that has been circled on the calendar for months. The date that is filled with hope, expectations, and promise. The date that should be a crystal ball into the future. The date that Rangers fans and management have been eagerly awaiting and anticipating. Which date am I referring to? Well, I am talking about December 26th and the commencement of the World Junior Championships taking place in western Canada.
Yes, the day after Santa and his reindeer have made their rounds giving out gifts to the “nice” kids, the most talented teenage hockey prospects in the world will congregate, clad in their country’s respective colors, competing for Word Junior supremacy.
