Breaking: World Juniors to be resumed during summer

[wetcoast]

Can't wait.

All you naysayers will end up watching it, and you know it!

Moreso than the Olympics but that was in part due to the time differences.

At least the WJHC will have some semblance to best on best, the Olympics sure didn't.

They should never let the province of Alberta host this event again after the debacle this past Christmas.

Well....they are.

to post a NA quote in the olympics thread which suits also in this thread "That tournament has about as much relevance as a beer league game"

Seems slightly premature but sure you go off.

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Will Russia be allowed to come?

 

[Buck Nasty]

Maybe Austria. It’s funny, China actually did better at the Olympics than Austria did in WJC with supposed star in Kasper. But at least there will be relegation.

Yes but the Austrian Team was made up of actual Austrian nationals.

Not if there is any justice in this world. #IstandwithUkraine.

Will Russia be allowed to come?

I hope not.

 

[Antiillafire]

Indeed, I was only really angry about the no relegation. I wouldn’t mind seeing Latvia take Russia’s spot. Or Denmark? Belarus is an obvious no now due to their participation alongside Russia.

Yep, particitating there in a hostile environment won't be very smart. Russia should skip it.

Fair enough.

They shouldn't be given the chance to skip it. They should be banned from every international event, conference, gathering or competition until the Putin regime is gone.

If not, they should skip it.

That would show a level of discretion not often shown by the Russian authorities.

But sure, they should skip.

 

[Jussi]

It's pretty much guaranteed the 2023 World Juniors will be moved as well as the men's Worlds.

Facts

They shouldn't be given the chance to skip it. They should be banned from every international event, conference, gathering or competition until the Putin regime is gone.

And if the morally corrupt IIHF dares to invite them, other teams should refuse to play games against them, or they should boycott the entire tournament, just like the 1980 Olympics were rightfully boycotted.

In any case, a best-on-best tournament has now become impossible on the U20 level as well.

 

[stastny12]

I just came here to say that hopefully Russia wont participate

 

[canuck2010]

Or maybe they could participate under the name of the ROC that seems to work well in the Olympics.

Definitely not. Doping and murder are two entirely different things.

 

[jaro]

Maybe slovakia could get it .. Slovakia has very strong u20players and hockey interest is in this hockey republic huge ..

 

[Eye of Ra]

this talk that NHL clubs wont let go of their players to this tournament, how come? NHL starts in october. camps starts in september. this wc will be in aug. there is no reason for NHL clubs to hold into their players.

I agree. I said at the time that Canada should be banned from hosting for 25 years. I know, I am absurd.
