This year, the tournament is being held in Ostrava and Trinec, Czech Republic. That year, Canada’s team was stacked with what are now household names — including P.K. Before rule changes took effect into the tournament’s format, second place meant Canada would have to play in the quarterfinal. With one of the youngest teams at that year’s tournament (Tavares and Stamkos were only 17), Canada was able to pull off another gold, its fourth in a row. Canada’s next game at this year’s world juniors is on Thursday, against Russia at 1 p.m.
