Connor Bedard scores early to get the party started for Canada #WorldJuniors 🇨🇦

x.com/iihfhockey/sta…

Zrejme si pamätáte duel Švédsko - Slovensko (3:0) na neskôr zrušených #WorldJuniors , kde mal švédsky brankár Jesper Wallstedt 48-zákrokový shutout. Opýtal som sa ho, či si naň spomína.

„Ó, áno. Spomínam si, ako som po ňom musel stráviť päť dní v karanténe, to si z neho pamätám.”

Can Konsta Helenius use the #MensWorlds to help his draft stock?

He's set to become just the fifth player to play in the WC, the #U18MensWorlds and the #WorldJuniors in a single year.

💥 Dobrá správa - Richard Baran bude dôležitým obrancom U20 na #WorldJuniors . #HockeySlovakia

Would I be too far-fetched to think that Canada's #U18MensWorlds team would have beaten the #WorldJuniors team from this past January?

Finnish prospect Konsta Helenius will be the fifth player to compete in the #IIHFWorlds , #U18MensWorlds and #WorldJuniors in the same year.

How much higher can the 2024 NHL Draft hopeful's stock rise?

At 18, Connor Bedard could still play another year of #WorldJuniors if he chose.

Instead, he's leading all players with 4 goals in his #MensWorlds debut — and putting himself on Team Canada's 2026 Olympic radar.

Here's more from me, for Forbes SportsMoney:

(1/) To Jesse Pollock’s claims about supposed “few high-quality” Canadian goalies, Hockey Canada’s #WorldJuniors, under-18 men’s & women’s & adult women’s teams have, among IIHF tourneys that’ve ended in 2024, already finished their tourneys, with the #WJC team having lost in

Wish I could have watched more of this tournament has it has an identical format as the #WorldJuniors . It being in Finland and most of the games was on at around Noon or earlier. This was a taste of things to come later this year! #U18MensWorlds #CANvsUSA #GMG

(8/) too overwhelmed. Of those IIHF Top Division tourneys that took started after last September, but by April, the:

- adult #womensworlds ’ one that took place in #Utica , #NewYork (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_IIHF…)

James Aldersley To claims by Jesse Pollock about supposedly few quality Canadian goalies, 4 @hockeycanada teams (@WorldJuniors, u18 men’s & women’s & adult women’s) have competed in IIHF tourneys that ended in 2024 (the last 3 having already won medals [2 gold, 1 bronze]).

2015 #WorldJuniors gold medals winner with Team Canada, Benoît Groulx 🇨🇦 named the Traktor's new head coach (2-year deal).

Dans Locmelis will not play for Latvia due to his two-game suspension from the #WorldJuniors .

He can return for Latvia's third game against Kazakhstan on Tuesday. #MensWorlds

Switzerland-Sweden 2016 probably had to be one of the dirtiest #WorldJuniors games that I've seen.

(key words: 'that I've seen')
