Canada aims to build on their impressive opening victory against Finland as they face Latvia in their second game at the 2024 World Junior Championship.
Canada has a chance to build upon their tournament-opening victory against Finland when they battle Latvia in their second preliminary game at the 2024 World Junior Championship on Friday.
