The 2016 World Junior champion will be crowned today as the gold, silver and bronze medals will be decided in Helsinki. But wait, who's that in the picture?
In 1998 the WJC was held in Helsinki and Hämeenlinna, Finland. It was the last time that Team Canada failed to make it at least as far as the semifinals, and in the final that year, Finland played Russia and beat them 2-1 in overtime on a goal scored by Niklas Hagman, a former Leaf who I hope you remember fondly.
Hagman, who just turned 36 last month, plays for Jokerit in the KHL, and their home arena is Hartwall in Helsinki, the site of today's gold medal game between Finland and Russia, the first since 1998.
