It’s that time of year again, folks! Christmas is behind us but the most wonderful time of year still lies ahead — the 2026 World Junior Championship. There’s little better in this hockey season than this facing off of the world’s best under-20 aged talent, and this year’s installment is set to be no different. And on top of that, there will be a lot to be excited about for Flyers fans in particular, as the organization will be represented by a good handful of exciting prospects on some of the tournament’s top teams.
The Who
The Flyers will once again be well represented in this tournament across the big four teams: Porter Martone and Jett Luchanko will represent them on the Canadian team, while they’ll have another pair of prospects suiting up for Finland in Heikki Ruohonen and Max Westergard, and then Jack Berglund will join the Swedes for his last year of eligibility, while Shane Vansaghi debuts for the Americans.
