Hockey in North America has been having a tough time of late. Games in every league in Canada and America have been postponed as virtually every team had to put at least a few players and staff onto COVID protocol due to a rise in positive tests.
While the NHL had an early “postponement” of all games around the Christmas holidays, the World Junior Championship soldiered on... albeit with some difficulty. They cut their exhibition warm up games to one because one player tested positive, and then they got through day three of the official round robin games before Team USA had to forfeit a match.
