Following the cancellation of the 2022 world junior championship on Dec. 29 due to the spread of COVID-19, players and coaches were understandably disappointed to miss out on the experience of a lifetime.

The teams were eventually kicked off the plane for failing to comply with in-flight safety measures, among other infractions.
