Current 2027 #WorldJuniors ticket package options, if your name gets selected for the draw.
I threw my name in, but I think I've fully decided to aim for the #WomensWorlds in November (as I'm certain that those WWC tickets will be far more affordable).

Applicants for the 2029 #WomensWorlds now read as "Sweden and Switzerland" (same as 2028), rather than "Switzerland and Sweden".
I have no idea what this means.
I assume each country is getting one in 2028/29.

For me - there's trying to figure out whether to try to attend the #WorldJuniors or #WomensWorlds in 2027 if I can't attend both.
I'm leaning towards the WWC because those tickets should be far easier to acquire (and logistics easier to figure out ...

I'm sorry, I can't say I'm a fan of this announcement at all. This will be the third #WorldJuniors in Edmonton in 7 years. They'd have hosted nearly half of them from 2021-27.
It's one thing to give 🇨🇦 (as a country) a ton of WJCs, but why is Edmonton getting so many of them?

I know Canada is using these #RivalrySeries games as an evaluation tool more than anything, but it's hard to remind yourself of that when the scoreboard is staring right at you.

The fact that Miller is playing for Canada here tells me that she should be good to go for either #MilanoCortina2026 or #WomensWorlds
