A potential trip to the World Junior Championship is fast approaching for two Vancouver Canucks rookies, Jared McCann and Jake Virtanen.
Although the two have fit in to be daily NHL-ers with the Canucks, the opportunity to wear the Canadian red and white is always and enticing prospect, especially for Jake Virtanen who would be looking to defend the Gold that he won as part of the 2015 Team Canada. The Vancouver Canucks have till December 19th to make the call.
Team Canada desperately needs Jake Virtanen.
