Deathrowe Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not sure if this is the right spot to post this in, I included a couple Canucks prospects on my list so I think it might count here. If a similar thread is already open please feel free to advise. The world Juniors are going to be hosted this year in Ostrava and Trinec in the Czech Republic. The event will be taking place between December 26, 2019 to January 5, 2020 Being a huge fan of this event I wanted to open it up for discussion, with this years draft looking to be extremely strong I'm excited to get a chance to see some of these kids on the big stage. To start it off I threw together a mock lineup for Team Canada, just a roster that I think would be fun to see play together. Jared McIsaac L Ty Smith L Noah Dobson R Jet Woo R Bowen Byram L Jared Bernard-Docker R Kevin Bahl L Extra D Alexis Lafreniere / Barrett Hayton / Joe Veleno Alex Newhook / Kirby Dach / Dylan Cozens Nolan Foote / Quinton Byfield / Serron Noel Liam Foudy / Ty Dellandrea / Benoit Olivier-Groulx Carson Focht Extra forward Olivier Rodrigue Zachary Emond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Raphael Lavoie, Akil Thomas, Gabriel Fortier, Braden Tracey, and maybe even Cole Perfetti will get looks on the team. Defense if pretty much a lock to what you have put there. Maybe Thomas Harley cracks the roster. I would also toss Alexis Gravel's hat into the ring for goalies. Alexis Lafreniere – Kirby Dach – Joe VelenoNolan Foote – Barrett Hayton – Dylan Cozens Alex Newhook - Ty Dellandrea - Akil Thomas Raphael Lavoie - Liam Foudy - B.O.Groulx Bowen Byram - Noah Dobson Ty Smith - J. Bernard Docker Jared McIsaac - Jett Woo Kevin Bahl Olivier Rodrigue Alexis Gravel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Doubt Dobson or Hayton will be available. Still a very strong lineup for Canada that I'm excited to see. Can't wait to see Woo and Podz battle each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check that out when I was making my lineup, if those teams get hit with injuries and the young guys take a big step up then we might not get them. Otherwise I think the Yotes and Isles will send them to play big minutes on a big stage. Really hope it happens, the thought of Byram playing with Dobson looks just unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold medal contender if we get both and goaltending holds up. Hayton was really good for us last year. Still amazes me that it's cheaper to go to tho this tournament than take the ferry from the island and see it in our own backyard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt they stick. If they DO, with how little they are playing both would benefit a ton playing in the tournament and would/should be released for it. If anything, Dach has more of a chance of sticking in Chicago. Edited October 24, 2019 by RRypien37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 19 or so I went to the Czech Republic for the 2008 WJHC in Pardubice. I saw like 11 games including the gold medal, semi finals, and bronze medal game... and I think it cost me less than $150 bucks. Also, beer was like 17 cents. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how he looks by then. He is skating now, but just light skating so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went the year before in Sweden, games were split between Leksand and Mora. Games were not very highly attended but the few Swedish fans that came out were lots of fun. They had a cheering section where they jumped around and sang songs, one of the highlights was the Swedish cheering section leader took off his jersey and was wearing a "Fire McGuire" shirt underneath. Also the Toews shootout to beat the Americans... that was pretty good too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) You guys are all sleeping on Byfield and McMichael. Both tearing up the OHL right now and the rosters have traditionally been OHL heavy. Byfield is just coming into his draft year and leads the league in points as a 6'4" 215 pound center. McMichael was a last 1st rounder this summer and has 13 goals in 12 games to start the season. Also a center.

Noble 6 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Harley has had a very good start to the year as well. It wouldn't have been a stretch to see him stick with Dallas and they feel he's pretty much a lock to make it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
