Dawson Mercer, left, and Alex Newhook played key roles in Canada's success at the 2021 World Juniors. Now, despite falling to the U.S. in the gold medal game on Tuesday, Newhook and Mercer both say getting to play for Canada in the event was a special opportunity. "Thinking back right now, and just going back over it, it's an unbelievable feeling and a great opportunity for us to play in the world juniors," Mercer said. It's definitely going to be the world juniors that's going to be remembered in history." The selection camp and tournament spanned over 50 days of isolation to keep in line with public health and tournament regulations.
