With the World Juniors just around the corner, Vancouver Canucks fans now have things to cheer about. The Canucks are sending Jake Virtanen to Helsinki, Finland, to represent Canada alongside two of their latest draft picks.
While Virtanen headlines the Team Canada roster, Brock Boeser of the University of North Dakota will look to put his scoring touch on display for Canada’s biggest rival. The 23rd overall pick of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft survived Team USA’s roster cut. Boeser, who will wear No. 23 for Team USA, is the youngest drafted forward on the roster.
