Good start for Canucks Prospects

Happy Boxing Day everyone!

As we all know, Boxing Day means the start of the World Junior tournament. Today is extra special because there were three marquee games out of four.

To Canadians, the late game versus the USA is the best way to kick off this annual prospect extravaganza. Even better when our kids beat their kids (for a change). Big props to Alexis Lafreniere for a well deserved Canadian player of the game, and stick tap to the goalie with ice water in his veins Nico Daws who didn’t look at all like a kid in his first international game.
