Pool A standings
1. Canada 2. Czechia 3. Sweden 4. Germany 5. Austria Pool A is Canada's to lose. The home team is far and beyond the most talented team at the World Juniors and should make fairly easy work of this group. While Czechia and Sweden both produce tough matchups, it should be four wins for Canada. I have Czechia over Sweden here based on Sweden's weak blue line. I think the Swedes are going to struggle defensively, relying on a lot of inexperienced defensemen. On the other side, Czechia is bringin...
Pool B standings
1. USA 2. Finland 3. Slovakia 4. Latvia 5. Switzerland Finland and the USA are going to be battling it out for the top spot. There are small concerns with both teams on offense, but I think the Americans have a deeper back end than the Finns. The USA beats Finland in their head-to-head to win the division. Slovakia is going to be a much better team at the 2023 tournament than in 2022. They failed to make it to the knockout stage in the summer, but they should beat Latvia and Switzerland this...
Quarterfinals
1A Canada defeats 4B Latvia 1B USA defeats 4A Germany 2A Czechia defeats 3B Slovakia 2B Finland defeats 3A Sweden Both Canada and the USA should make easy work in their quarterfinal matchups. They are simply just that much better that even if they are off their A-game, they can get wins over Latvia and Germany, respectively. I think the Czechia vs. Slovakia matchup is an intriguing one. I wouldn't be shocked either way, but I like the depth of the Czechs a lot better than Slovakia's. With a t...
Semifinals
1A Canada defeats 2B Finland 1B USA defeats 2A Czechia In the semifinals, we get two rematches of games in the 2022 knockout stage. We'll start with Canada vs. Finland in a rematch of the 2022 gold-medal game. The Finns play a tough, defensive system, which we saw in that final. However, they don't have the power at the forward position like last time. Canada is the most complete team at the Maritimes and should rely on their depth scoring to best the Finns. On the other side, the Americans f...
Medals
Gold: Canada Silver: USA Bronze: Finland A rematch of the 2021 World Juniors gold-medal game is my prediction for the 2022 competition, and I think we see a different result. After the USA defeated Canada two years ago in the final, I see the Canadians going back-to-back to win gold in 2023. Canada's offense is going to be too powerful for the Americans to match. Finland earns a bronze by beating Czechia in the bronze-medal game.
MVP: Connor Bedard, Canada Best Forward:Connor Bedard, Canada Best Defenseman: Aleksi Heimosalmi, Finland Best Goalie: Trey Augustine, USA It feels inevitable that Bedard earns a World Juniors MVP at some point right? He didn't get it in 2022 and likely won't be playing in 2024. It feels like it's his time now to light up the tourney. There are a f...
