Vancouver Canucks: McCann not Going to World Juniors, Decision to Be Made on Virtanen

The World Junior Championships are one of the most prestigious hockey tournaments. Vancouver Canucks forwards Jared McCann and Jake Virtanen are just two of many junior-aged players who could participate, and Team Canada would love to have the duo on their roster. Unfortunately for Team Canada, the Canucks made a decision on McCann.

Jared McCann will not be going to World Juniors, decision on Virtanen to be made at some point next week. #Canucks

Despite being only 19 years old, the Canadian centre is a player the Canucks cannot do without.
