Will Canada Win Gold?

The world juniors are fast approaching they start on boxing day this December and January. and team Canada has not won gold in 5 years. They have to compete with the young talent from other countries like the power house team from Finland and other top countries from last year like U.S.A and Russia and the Czech. but with additions like Connor McDavid and with the games being in Canada that could help this years team finally bring gold to Canada. Canada`s first game is Friday December 26th they face of against Slovakia and with the past that should be a easy victory for team Canada. Canada doesn't have a real challenge until the third game and that is against team Finland on the 29th that game should prove to the people that don't think Canada has any talent anymore and playing the opponent that beat them to move on last year to get redemption against the Fins would be great to the first time players this year. Certain NHL teams are not allowing players to go play like the Tampa Bay Lightning with Jonathan Drouin and how they will not loan him to the World Juniors. But with returning goalie Zachary Fucale that should help their chances Fucale shined last year he was the backup goalie to Jacob Patterson but he later took over the starting job and was on fire and helped Canada but in the end they lost, it is almost certain that Fucale will start for team Canada this year.


Canada has always been in the top of the hockey ranking for a long, long time, but is that only the men`s Olympic hockey team or is the juniors in the same ranking or are they down in the rankings compared to the men`s team. In the juniors it seems that Finland, Sweden, Russia are the top 3 teams for the juniors. But in my opinion I think that this is Canada`s year because they are playing in front of their home country.
