We tend to think of the weeks following Christmas/Boxing Day as being World Juniors time, when we all turn our eyes to the kiddos and see how they’re doing. And this is a ways away, you say, but we (and yeah, okay, the national teams) are already starting the prep work heading into the tournament. You guessed it, it’s summer showcase time!
We won’t be seeing as many Flyers prospects in this tournament as we did last year, when there were eight prospects spread between three national teams, but the Flyers will still find themselves well represented.
