GAME DAY OPEN THREAD: IIHF 2020 World U20: CAN/USA

The annual tournament to determine the nation with the best Under 20 players is set to go, this year Ostrava and Trinec, Czech Republic playing host. And as is tradition, the big match of the day features two powerhouse, bitter rivals going head to head to open the tournament: Canada and the United States.

One thing that’s different this time around for Canada is their age. This is one of the youngest teams they’ve ever sent, and it looks like they’re focusing more on putting together a team with the best players available than perhaps the most experienced.
