Canada always had a team in this tournament
Tsn always had it on TV

No, Canada did not

 

[clevelandcane]

No, Canada did not

They did recently, prior to COVID. Why aren't they sending a team this summer?

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Roster changes for SWE: Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Liam Öhgren & Noah Östlund are out.

In comes forwards: Zeb Forsfjäll, Felix Unger-Sörum & Hannes Hellberg.

Dating myself for sure. Still chuckle when I see Felix Unger.

You are correct, they actually bought two squads like usa does

 

[lilidk]

Tv coverage?

 

[StevenEllisNHL]

Tv coverage?

https://usahockeytv.com/ USA Hockey's streaming will have the games

Although, it looks like they'll be part of the ones you have to pay for

Interesting they split up the US Under 18 line. Leonard is on the Blue team, Perreault and Smith are on White.

Good, test their chemistry with other players and in other roles. They can and almost surely will be reunited at some point anyway.

 

[EbonyRaptor]

Games start today - hopefully there are some boots on the ground to send reports to the rest of us.

 

[ijuka]

Ridiculous that you need to pay to watch some exhibition matches.

 

[Jukurit]

This Finnish team is very bad. I think both US teams and Sweden will easily crush Finland.

 

[Winston Churchill]

$15 to watch one non-professional hockey game, likely with close to zero production value and advertisements throughout? Interesting value proposition

It’s insane.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I think the fact an event this is broadcast at all is a minor miracle.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I paid $30.00 US for the month.
Smith had a couple of great chances to score. Brindley was godd. Casey took 5 or 6 shots.
2-0 Sweden after 1 period.

I think the fact an event this is broadcast at all is a minor miracle.

What I refuse to pay for is NCAA hockey. Schools that are richer than Midas charging to listen to a game. Eff them.

Felix Nilsson with an unassisted goal in his first U20 game. A.Johansson (Norén, Wagner) with the other goal for Sweden.

Suzdalev with also a goal in his first U20 game now, assisted by O.Pettersson.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

My IPTV can't even pick this one up

 

[theslatcher]

A.Johansson (Norén, Wagner) 1-0:


F.Nilsson 2-0:


Suzdalev (O.Pettersson) 3-0:

Sweden and USA take always these pre U20 WJC tournaments seriously.
Meanwhile we ( Finland ) take these games as a joke that's why our rosters suck.

 

[theslatcher]

Sweden takes it 7-0, rematch on the 4th.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

7-0? Did US even bother to play?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Not on defense.

Rather watch 1 meaningless exhibition match or a month of unlimited series and movies? Hmmm... Tough choice.

I wonder when hockey match monetization will be in line with the product's value? Currently they seem designed to just rip off the players' parents, which isn't ideal for growth.
