I can't remember who, but IIRC, someone younger than Barkov has participated the WJC.
A quick google search provided this. No idea if it was correct (or has changed), but certainly passes the smell test on the Canadian side anyway:
- Bobby Carpenter was 15yrs and 5 months 13 days when he was named to the United States team in the 1979 tournament.
- Jay Bouwmeester is the youngest Canadian at 16 yrs 2 months 29 days when he suited up for the 2000 tournament
- Eric Lindros is the youngest to win the gold medal at 16 yrs 10mos 7 days

Kostitsyn
Per Wikipedia:
He first played internationally at the 2000 World U18 Championships as a fifteen-year-old, but Belarus would struggle in the top division, finishing last. The next year, Kostitsyn competed with Belarus' under-20 team in the 2001 World Junior Championships' top division.
15 years old U18 and 16 years old U20.

Looking it up, he played in the U20 as a 15 year old (he is born in February, so he turned 16 after the tournament).
Hello, I'm lookin for very old boxscores, like early 80s tournaments, Can't find anything in the Google archives. Anyone can help?
