GDT: 2022 World Junior Championship (12/29 Update: Tournament Cancelled)

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Rangers better be ready to make their offer when he takes the NCAA route.

And the beauty of it all is that Power will be UFA after just 3 years instead of the usual 4 since his freshman year was pre-draft.

I thought the mods told us to keep our amateur “opinions” about COVID to ourselves.

Is there a # for how many of those were vaxed? I am asking honestly. It would be interesting to hear what the % is roughly.

Not on the chart I saw.

Has the US officially forfeited their game? Will they be able to play any more games?

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Czech's just forfeit their game against Finland due to covid cases. Also the IIHF announced that "all on ice officials" have to wear a mask during games. Does that mean refs? That would be weird.

Depending on what mask, it's ok I guess. I would do jack shit if I was wearing a FFP-2 mask for example.
That would be just (ridiculous).

Instead of blowing whistles, they're going to do jumping jacks.

Russia is forfeiting as well...they should pause this for a few days

Just cancel it. They are making teams forfeit games over a single positive case now, it’s become a joke and embarrassment.

We really are living in the bizarro world

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Good. This is the right outcome.

 

[East Coast Bias]

One of the more poorly managed attempts. Good job. Good effort.

 

[nyr2k2]

Good. This is the right outcome.

It is, based on how things were going.

It feels like this didn't HAVE to be the outcome, but the prep and safety measures put in place did not come close to matching what was needed to ensure something like this wouldn't come to pass.

 

[Fitzy]

Good. This is the right outcome.

The right outcome because of teams dropping, or the right outcome for health reasons?

 

[romba]

If they’re going to cancel over such a small amount of cases then they needed to have taxi squads available and just better planning overall. Shame for the kids.

 

[ArPanet]

What if Positive Zero was the guy with a camera they let on to the ice during games?

 

[JohnC]

Now how am I supposed to draw conclusions about prospects from a small sample size?

 

[nyr2k2]

If they were going to be canceling games based on one or two positives on one team, then they really needed to have an actual bubble, taxi squads, some built-in flexibility for postponements, etc. I know this is easier said than done, and it partly "ruins the experience" for the kids, but that's how it would have to have been for them to pull it off.
