2025 is a pretty good year for the Latvian juniors.
The main issue for this WJC roster and the coaches is going to be the fact that a number of key players at key positions are double or triple underagers, as the 07 and 08 generation is extremely talented.
Latvian coaches tend to be conservative and very averse to taking risks. Guys like Murnieks, Berzkalns, Serkins should be centering our top lines, but I'm not sure if all of them will even crack the lineup purely due to seniority and them being 16 or 17.
In short, a very young and talented team that should stay up.
Personally, I am waiting for the U18 Worlds even more, as I believe that we could go on a medal run there
