The upcoming World Junior Championship is an event that always brings plenty of excitement, but this year while hockey fans are waiting for news of the NHL season it should be even more spectacular. Sure, there will not be anyone in the stands to watch the games, but the tournament—held in Edmonton, Alberta from December 25 – January 5—is going to be packed with more talent than ever.
Today, USA Hockey released their preliminary roster for the event. This group includes 29 players that will head to a training camp on December 6 in Plymouth, Michigan. It will be cut down to 25 and the final roster will be announced on December 13.

The roster does not include New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes, who is still technically eligible for the event despite having played in a full NHL season. Among the other notable omissions is former Arizona Coyotes draft pick Mitchell Miller, who had been one of the 39 players invited to their September evaluation camp.
Knight or Wolf, who gets the nod?
I’ve had the opp to watch Knight at BC and Wolf at Everett. There is a reason Spencer went in the 1st and Dustin in the 4th. If the USA is to prevail against the LOADED Canadians it will be because Knight can carry his team and steal games.
I was very high on Wolf in the draft and think Calgary did well. Still, he’s a long shot to have an NHL career. Spencer will probably win a Vezina or few.
Miller is an expected omission. Stop giving that kid press, he doesn’t deserve it.
Damn was hoping Struble would get the nod
Stills blows me away that they are still having WJC with the cases growing in alot of provinces or states. It will be a surprise to me if after the championship if alot of these kids come down with covid…
It’s being played in a bubble same as how the NHL finished last year.
