2018 WJC Team Sweden Preview

2018 WJC Team Sweden Preview

December 16th, 2017 When Team Sweden takes to the ice in Buffalo, they will be loaded for bear and with some of the finest talent. That stems from the goaltending position on out. The Swedes still have a bad taste in their mouths from a fourth-place finish at last year's World Juniors. This still has not subsided, and understandably so. After losing to...
2018 WJC Team Slovakia Preview

2018 WJC Team Slovakia Preview

December 15th, 2017 After an eighth-place finish in Canada at the 2017 World Juniors, Slovakia is hoping for much better results this time around in Buffalo. With the talent that they are presently considering to make the final roster, the Slovaks are likely to make those aspirations come to fruition. They have a far better roster than what most would...
2018 WJC Team Denmark Preview

2018 WJC Team Denmark Preview

December 14th, 2017 Heading into Buffalo, Denmark is in the midst of four straight World Junior Championship appearances. They are coming off of their finest performance thus far after they took Canada by storm at last year's tournament. In 2017, they put Finland to bed in their second game of the tournament, 3-2. They scared the living daylights out of the...
2018 WJC Team Russia Preview

2018 WJC Team Russia Preview

December 12th, 2017 *NOTE: This article has been updated with new information after it was originally published.   There are no need for any reminders. The hockey world is quite familiar with Russia's exploits the last time they competed in this tournament amidst the friendly confines of Buffalo. The Russians turned powerhouses like Canada and the...
2018 WJC Team Canada Preview

2018 WJC Team Canada Preview

December 11th, 2017 Canada would love nothing more than to take the gold medal on American soil. After the United States defeated the Canadians in the 2017 gold medal game 5-4 in a shootout, their neighbors of the north were in agony to have come so close and just fall so slightly short. To have it happen in hallowed Montreal was even a tougher pill to...
2018 WJC Team Switzerland Preview

2018 WJC Team Switzerland Preview

December 10th, 2017 Switzerland is the consummate dark horse. Often forgotten, but ever capable of being tormenting. The Swiss can be the proverbial thorn in one's side. They have been doing so in what will now be their ninth straight World Junior Championship since 2010. Housed in Group B alongside Sweden, Belarus, Russia, and the Czech Republic, the...
2018 WJC Team Belarus Preview

2018 WJC Team Belarus Preview

December 10th, 2017 Who doesn't love an underdog, right? Well, Team Belarus may not be as much of an underdog as one might think. They have made their way into Buffalo for the 2018 tournament by taking gold last December in the 2017 Division I tournament which was held in Bremerhaven, Germany. Belarus won four of their five games in the process, and the...
2018 WJC Team Finland Preview

2018 WJC Team Finland Preview

December 9th, 2017 When Team Finland takes to the ice in Buffalo, they are looking to replicate what they did just two years ago on their own home soil. Capturing the gold in Helsinki in 2016, the Finns would love nothing more than to go three for five in gold medals. They also took home first place in 2014. If Finland is shooting for an every-other-year...
2018 WJC Team USA Preview

2018 WJC Team USA Preview

December 8th, 2017 The United States look to retain their gold medal victory from last year. If they are to do so, it will be done on home soil. Only seven potential returnees from 2017 have been selected to the USA's preliminary roster. The good problem to have is that the other 21 prelim players provide a tremendous amount of talent to choose from. Team...
2018 WJC Team Czech Republic Preview

2018 WJC Team Czech Republic Preview

December 7th, 2017 Shortly before Christmas, the Czech Republic will be whittling down their preliminary roster for the 2018 World Junior Championships from 27 players to 23. As it stands right now, the preliminary group assembled comprises eight players from their 2017 squad. It also consists of nine players who are property of NHL clubs. With this year's...
