2018 WJC Team Slovakia Final Roster for Buffalo
December 27th, 2017 If you are looking for a purely enjoyable team to root for at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Buffalo, go with Slovakia. Not only will they be a proverbial underdog at this year's tournament, but they have a wonderful blend of size, skill, speed,... you name it. The problem is that they just do not have enough of each, or at least...
2018 WJC Team Belarus Final Roster for Buffalo
December 26th, 2017 If Belarus is to have any chance of staving off relegation at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Buffalo, they will need nothing short of a miracle. Stranger things have happened before but the Belorussians are in deep waters. Perhaps the one saving grace that they have from the get-go is being in Group B and being away from the...
2018 WJC Team Canada Final Roster for Buffalo
December 26th, 2017 No team has as much pressure on them every year quite like Canada does. Despite the fact that they fell just short of a gold medal win last year, the 2017 tournament can be seen as nothing short of disappointing. It might seem harsh, but as many Canadians will attest, the tournament has a gold-medal-or-bust vibe to it every year. This...

December 26th, 2017 Will 2018 in Buffalo end up being another Cinderella-run for Denmark? It's unlikely, but after their unexpected fifth-place finish last year anything is possible.

2018 WJC Team Russia Final Roster for Buffalo
December 26th, 2017 The Russians aren't coming -- they're already here, and are poised once more to make a medal run in Buffalo. Will it be another repeat of 2011 when Russia took Buffalo by storm and won it all? Seven years ago was one of the finest examples of what momentum can do for a hockey club. The Russians came like a snowball running down a hill,...

December 25th, 2017 With the World Junior Championships set to kick off this week, the United States have announced the roster they'll be sending to the tournament to defend their title of World Champions from a year ago (a roster that looks pretty similar to the one that was previewed on THW in the past). Winning a gold medal for your country is an honor...
2018 WJC Team Sweden Final Roster for Buffalo
December 25th, 2017 Sweden is one of the teams that have a legitimate shot to take home the gold medal in Buffalo. The 2018 World Junior Championships are less than a day away, and the Swedes are truly poised to win it all. In many ways, they are in the best position possible. Most of the medal discussion is geared towards either Canada or the USA winning...

December 24th, 2017 The final squads for the 2018 World Junior Championships continue to be released just days before the tournament gets underway. Switzerland's head coach Christian Wohlwend has made his decision and has found the 23-man roster.
