From markhmasters at the WorldJuniors: Age is only part of the story for the youngest-ever Team Canada 🇨🇦 MORE:
According to EliteProspects.com, this is the youngest Team Canada ever at the World Juniors with an average age of 18.61 years.
"He's grown up," Hunter observed of the reigning CHL player of the year."He plays a real good two-way game now, he understands what needs to be done to win hockey games, how to win games … he sees he's got to play both ends of the ice.
Jamie Drysdale is a rare 17-year-old to make Canada on defence and while he started each pre-tournament game as the seventh defenceman, the Erie Otter looked at ease at this level and has potential to carve out a bigger role. While the NHL is getting younger and younger, Hunter doesn’t necessarily believe this is the start of a new trend for Hockey Canada at the World Juniors.
"It's critical for these guys to get their rest so they can perform at an elite level," Bullock concluded. "This tournament happens real fast and at an elite level and we need to be fresh."While overseas at the World Juniors, Team Canada players must turn in their phones before turning in for the night.
"I've laid it all out on the line," he said."You can't save them all so it's not the end of the world. I'll learn from it and move on." But scoring is what Caufield does the best and he appears to be riding a wave of momentum heading into the World Juniors having potted four goals in a final tune-up game against the Germans on Monday.
