2026 World Juniors General Discussion

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
I'll pass

This sucks. Was hoping for another Canada vs USA NYE game. Seems to be a tradition that has died. Other than 2025, the last time it happened was the 2017 (Dec 31, 2016). Eight years between games is such a downer. Can't believe they'd willingly give that up.

It’s harder without Russia. There’s a need to balance the groups. Maybe it’ll go back to that when Russia returns.
 
The groups are more balanced this way, though I hope that most Canadian fans stay home.

Yeah I think it will be mostly players' families in attendance at this one.

But more than that I'm just hoping for a competent management team and coaches...

coaches who will prepare...and I don't know...this may seem outlandish...but do some actual coaching.

and for Salmond to keep his nose out of it.

That is my World Junior Christmas Wish List.

My wish list is simple. Have a camp where the best players are invited, pick the players having the best years and the best camp, put those players through practices. I'd also like that Canada's power play feature players who play on the power play for their teams regularly, but one never wants to wish for too much.
