The attendance outside of Canada or the states is laughably bad at times

Weird how the European countries barely care about the world juniors but go ape shit over the World Championships when most of the good NHLers aren’t even there

Absolutely slanderous to Finns and Latvians! But also, kinda true, obviously.

This is so true. I got into an argument with a guy at work claiming that Canada doesn’t support the Jr’s as well as other countries do. I told him the complete opposite is the truth. This guy also believes that people get upset if you say Merry Christmas and that white people are about to become a minority *in England*, so…
TSN hammers this tournament year round like it’s the greatest thing ever. It’s not even a best on best for its age group. I mean, it’s a fine tournament, and I enjoy it, but it’s not the second coming that it’s advertised to be.

Can do the same for curling

That would make sense actually… We are #1 at the sport and manufacture the greatest players in the world

Fuck yeah boxing day tradition, hockey hits different this time of year

Meh, Canada loves hockeys and it’s some of the best you can get some years, and weirdly it’s not blacked out for stupid reasons.

its a tradition on the 31st. Habs game in the afternoon and Canada junior right after it.

I’d have it no other way ! Hockey Canada is World domination

Considering how much TSN supports the tournaments and basically has the entire broadcasting rights for it I’m not at all surprised. If it wasn’t for them this tournament probably wouldn’t be as big as it is.
Xanosaur
it’s the only international best on best tournament even if it is the juniors. i’m surprised more people don’t care about it.

Hockey is pretty much all Canada has.

For people that have an issue with this and make fun of how Canada supports this, how many countries give a damn about college sports? The WJC is pretty analogous to college football bowl games or final four basketball, except it is international which makes it more interesting in some ways.

In Canada we’re not the only ones who care about the juniors. We’re simply the best.
Arfguy
Love the World Juniors. If it’s only Canadians that love it, I’m perfectly ok with that 😂
miller94
It was a damn struggle to stay awake post night shift to finish the game this morning but you bet I did!

Wouldn’t the work juniors attendance thrive in a city like Boston? Huge hockey town went he bruins and all the top US hockey colleges that are there.

So if Canada is the only country who cares then why even do it anymore?

Now do one showing countries that give a crap about the world championships

I care. I love seeing all these prospects. It’s a great showcase of the future of the NHL.

Sweden and Finland care a lot

i only care for the world cup of hockey, best on best soon. lets go team usa
SokaKu93
You don’t know about finland then do you?

Minimally Minnesota should be added.

While I agree that Canada cares the most about the WJC by far, Sweden and Finland have figured out how good the hockey can be. I get chirps every year from my Finnish and Swedish friends.
LustThyNeighbor
That’s because it’s Canada’s game, despite what Bettman’s desperately trying to do in dessert.

Hey that’s me!!!!!

I love the world juniors, just really hard to follow since the NHL network isn’t included with most cable packages anymore

Honestly, im Canadian snd a hockey fan but couldn’t care less about WJC and dont know many who do

For Canadians it’s a Christmas holiday tradition.
I remember watching games at 8am with my Dad when I was a boy. Intense games taking place in Europe.
And then when I made enuff money to afford it…. taking my Dad in 2015 to the Gold Medal game with ice level seats where we got to see Connor McDavid and others like Max Domi (they were sitting right by our seats).
Canada beat Russia that night in a very close game…..and Scotia Bank Arena was going 10 times crazier than any Leaf game I’ve ever been to (and I went to the playoff games they played against Tampa).
It’s super exciting hockey with a lot of spirit and excitement….. and if the rest of the world hasn’t become hip to it yet….. it’s too bad for them because the hockey is SICK!

It’s criminal how bad the video quality is on the TSN app.
AllDragonsAreSluts
I love it, but I’m from the Canadian cousin state of Minnesota
Reversehalfhitch
Latvia declared the national holiday and shut the country down for a day when they won bronze last year. I think OP needs to colour that spot a little.
steamcleaner91
As a Canadian, I don’t care about the WJC. I actually enjoy the Spengler more.
RememberThatDream
Hockey is life in Canada. Even if you didn’t play (like me) it’s our biggest sense of pride athletically because we know we’re the best and it’s not even close

Probably why Canada hosts so often
