Do we repeat information as the tournament goes along? Yes. We don’t assume that everyone watches every minute of every game.
Preparing to embark on my 25th #WorldJuniors as the play by play announcer. Here are some reminders of our approach to this tournament:
First off, the pronunciation of the players names. Each team has given us an audio recording, we will use them as a guide, recognizing linguistic differences.

34 World Junior Championships…hard to believe.
For the third straight year I’ll call games involving players whose dads also played in tournaments I’ve done:
2024 Jorian Donovan (Shawn 95)
2025 Ethan Gauthier (Denis 96)
2026 Tij Iginla (Jarome 96)
I don’t plan to do games involving grandkids.

Edmonton led the game 6-0 in the second period, leading legendary Hawks broadcaster Pat Foley to say afterwards: “We scored 9 goals on home ice and were never in the game.” Denis Savard, Steve Larmer and Al Secord were each -7.
On this day in 1985, the Edmonton Oilers and Chicago Blackhawks combined for 21 goals in a 12-9 Edmonton win. It tied a record set in 1920 when the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto St. Pats recorded 21 goals in a 14-7 Montreal win. Glenn Anderson and Jari Kurri both had hat tricks.

This has been brought up before, the logistics of having the Div 1A winner go to the WJC in the season in which they were promoted would be difficult. For one thing, it would throw relegation and promotion in the other WJC divisions out of whack (there are 7 divisions).
If it’s being played now, why not send the winning team to this year’s World Juniors? That way the team that wins is actually the team that represents.

There’s a long-standing belief that NHL teams outside a playoff spot at US Thanksgiving have a very slim chance of making the post-season, but according to the Elias Sports Bureau, of the 64 playoff teams over the last four seasons, 14 (22%) were out of the top 8 at US Thanksgiving.

Honoured to have been part of the opening ceremony for the outdoor rink on the grounds of Rideau Hall in Ottawa on Saturday. Canada’s 3rd Governor General, Lord Dufferin, was the first to have a rink flooded on the property, the 6th GG, Lord Stanley, became a hockey fan and donated the Stanley Cup.

I wonder if this is a hockey reference. The 1989 World Junior Championship took place in Anchorage, the Soviets won the gold medal led by a top line of Pavel Bure, Sergey Fedorov and Alexander Mogilny.

Unless you have been to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia lately (I visited both provinces last week), please don’t comment on the measures they’re taking to prevent forest fires. The conditions are extreme and very dangerous.
