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.
