Today’s result is downstream of missing the bus on how USA Hockey decided to approach youth development in a novel way years ago
The bright side is there have been changes, and it’s no coincidence we started seeing elite CAN talent again on both the men’s and women’s side around that ‘05 birth year

Hockey Canada laughed at the ADM model for a decade and is now furiously trying to convince their clubs it’s the right path forward.

The CAN ‘06 and ‘07 birth years look really impressive. Primerano is obv the big name, but Zablocki, Maynard, Outwater, and the Manness twins are all putting together great seasons relative to their ages
USA is definitively ahead in this cycle, but look for a CAN youth movement in 2030 and beyond

As the original post says, this is just roster composition.
Canadas 18 and 19 year olds in college are excellent (go look at freshman and sophomore scoring leaders), they just aren’t 22 yet and they aren’t at the Olympics.

I’ll point out that CAN had a nice run of results at the U18 level of late winning 3/5 golds (this year aside; Jane Daley went nuts), but between 2015-2020 the Americans won 5/6 golds
The avg age of this CAN team is nearly 30. USA is under 26. This game is directly downstream of those U18 results

I'm not surprised by the US-Canada game, just disappointed.
I think it's one of the best examples of how much better USA Hockey is from a developmental standpoint, and it might be awhile before Canada can catch up again.

A statement win for the Wolves, going into Grand Rapids and taking down the AHL powerhouse.
Ryan Suzuki (1G, 1A), Felix Unger Sorum (2A), Bradly Nadeau (1G, 1 A), and Justin Robidas (2A) all had multi-point nights.
Cayden Primeau was excellent in net, stopping 31.

A silly data story I did with @ianhanomansing.bsky.social yesterday: the tyranny of the Braydens in Canadian junior hockey will soon come to an end.
Here's data showing that a very particular style of name clearly peaked about 15 years ago.
