It may not be a conventional answer, but January 2nd is probably my favourite hockey day of the year. To me, it’s better than any event the NHL puts on and is by far the best day of the World Juniors. There’s something about four elimination games, ranging from showdowns between top contenders to probable blowouts, back-to-back-to-back-to-back that is just so fun to watch.
