TEAM CANADA WORLD JUNIORS ROSTER ANNOUNCED! | Can Elite Roster Bring Gold Medal Home?

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the Team Canada training camp roster has just been officialized, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. Elite talents will be left at home at forward as there are just too many names to choose from, and will be led by Gavin McKenna, Michael Misa, and Porter Martone. On defence, Zayne Parekh will lead the charge offensively, while draft-eligible Keaton Verhoeff and Carson Carels made the cut. In net, Carter George will almost certainly get the reins following dominant displays at the world juniors last year and the U18s the year prior. We break down our tournament predictions, too, as Team Canada's talent is so strong, anything but Gold will be a disappointment.
