Should World Juniors be cancelled ?

Feel bad for these kids

Just the World Juniors.

Because we make them that sweet sweet cash.

If some other country cared about it, they'd also have the inside track.

If some other country cared about it? Every single game is televised in Sweden. The intrest here is huge. Finland is the same. The Czech Republic almost broke attendance records in 2020.

Next year tournament is in Russia, isn’t it ?

Unless there’s a boycott

I think this is the IIHF covid protocols. As far as I know, being exposed to a person who has tested positive for covid doesn't require you to be in quarantine

Don't let Canada host the tournament for another 5 years at least

 

[William H Bonney]

Well done, IIHF and Hockey Canada. Bantam tournaments are better organized than this one.

 

[MessierII]

no forfeiting. just reschedule the games. if they can't do that, just cancel it.

It’s a two week tournament there’s no re scheduling.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Might as well. Just out of mercy at this point.

Cancelling the tournament over 4 positive tests is just not reasonable.

Right or wrong...They are never going to do that because $$$

Not everything comes down to incompetence, sometimes malice and ill intent enter the fray. Nothing that has occurred has been remotely unpredictable.

Welp back to the gutter for us next tournament, losing our 2002 year and the top three 2004’s who may not be available.

[JoeyBeans]

[ViD]

Well, we got two main things covered - both Bedard and Michkov are over goal per game

shut it down now

 

[Lukin1978]

Shut down the world

Lets remember all hockey federations AGREED to the rules/conditions.

 

[MXD]

The IIHF are huge idiots if they cancel this out of 4 positive cases and only have themselves to blame for coming up with such losey protocols. I mean, it was obviously getting suspended if so few cases were enough.

Czech tournament was well attended, but a lot of the people at the games were people who traveled from Canada. The tickets were an absolute bargain compared to what we pay here. I had a blast, but realistically this tournament makes a lot of money that's used to offset the costs of other competitions.

You’re gonna be fine next year aswell.

The IIHF probably wont be though. They will still probably be just as dense as they are now.
