Are you sure about this? I mean, it is said here the tournament is going to be for 2004 and 2005 kids and girls.

Their website is pretty bad, but it seems like there will be 4 years thrown together (15-18 year olds). Their "factsheet" (hockey on p.5):

YOG said:
Hockey will be 04's and 05's, other sports may have other ages.
This is from the YOG website.
The age groups depend on the sports and disciplines in which the athletes compete. The athletes must be 15, 16, 17 o r 18 years old on 31 December in the year of the Games (between 1 st of January 2000 and 31 st of December 2003 for Buenos Aires 2018) . These groups are defined in collaboration with the relevant IF responsible for the sport . For example, in Buenos Aires 2018 , the age group defined for Rugby Sevens is the athletes born between the 1 st January 2000 and the 31 st December 2001 (those who are 17 or 18 years old).

That will be fun then. We have some really good 04s in the USA age group right now assuming they all play. Can't really speak to the other countries but obviously would assume Canada's Matt Savoie etc are in the mix

The girls competition is U18 I believe, while the boys tournament is U16, meaning players born in 2004-2005 are eligible to play. Also Shane Wright will probably stay up in the OHL due to his ES, but Savoie and Bedard playing together should be an absolute treat.

Teams can only enter either the boy's or girl's tournament; only the host Swiss get to enter both.

Thank you for the correction. Like I mentioned above, the YOG website is quite poor and needs some cleaning up.
With 2004 being the cutoff, Savoie will be the oldest player eligible for this tournament, and should absolutely tear it up. Wright will be one of the oldest players there himself, and would be a strong bet for MVP, if he opts to go.
Meanwhile Brad Lambert will actually be too old to play in this tournament.

Shane Wright will more than likely stay in the OHL. Same thing happened with Veleno as he was eligible to play for Canada at the 2016 tournament but the Seadogs kept him with the club. Wright could very well end up playing, but I highly doubt it.

The Fronts will cater to whatever decision Shane and his family make. Either way, Wright will be playing good hockey and the fans will win.
If I were managing him, I'd keep him in the OHL as well, as the level of play is much higher there than in the YOG.
President Sportt Club Cup in Belarus. Russia U16 vs Latvia U17. Russia won 6-1, Michkov #19 with 3 primary assists, his linemate Vyacheslav Malov (#23) with 2+1. Miroshnichenko (#10) was 0+1.
Slovakia U16 vs Belarus U17 will start in 20 min, Juraj Slafkovsky will play for Slovaks (#20)
Slovakia U16 vs Belarus U17 will start in 20 min, Juraj Slafkovsky will play for Slovaks (#20)
Well, 6-1 vs Latvia, 7-0 vs Slovakia and 6-0 vs Belarus, and all of those teams were older, than Team Russia. I guess, they will meet a much tougher competitions at the Olympics.

I think, it should happen somewhen in December, because the tournament will start in the middle of January.

If I'm not mistaken Canada generally sends at least one player from all of the various hockey associations across the country. Not a bad way to go.
In ‘00 they sent a true national (best of the age group). The ‘96 choosing of a player from each organization didn’t go over well with many.

I got a chance to see Nazar and Borgesi at the Silver Stick this past week. Nazar is dynamite. Terrific hockey IQ and a superb finisher. Pretty much every scoring chance he got he converted. Ended up leading the tourney in scoring. Borgesi is an undersisized D who is an elite skater.
