World Junior gold medal Results : Americans shock Canadians with shutout, win gold at 2021 World Juniors

January 6, 2021 by June Boylan Leave a Comment

Team Canada decisively stamped its ticket to the final with a 5-0 victory over the Russians. They saw goals from five individual scorers, including Alex Newhook, who returned from injury to score just 59 seconds into the game. Connor McMichael and Cole Perfetti both added goals before the first period ended, Braden Schneider added another in the second, and top-scorer Dylan Cozens topped it off with an empty-netter in the third. But Devon Levi was arguably the star of the show, stopping all 27 Russian shots on net in his second consecutive shutout.

Canada has looked completely unstoppable throughout the tournament, with a 33:4 goal differential in the preliminary round and two shutouts in the playoffs so far. Levi looks unbeatable, with a .975 save percentage (SV%) and a 0.53 goals-against average (GAA). Cozens has now moved into a tie with America’s Trevor Zegras with 16 points. But they have plenty of scoring depth as well with the likes of McMichael, Peyton Krebs, and second overall pick Quinton Byfield, among others. They have been the favorites since the beginning, and they will remain the clear favorites now.

And on the 12th day, the Hockey Gods gifted us with the perfect ending to the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship — Canada versus the United States with a gold medal on the line. It did not disappoint.

Dylan Holloway and Peyton Krebs also scored for the defending champions at Rogers Place in Edmonton.

Canadian goaltender Devon Levi stopped 18-of-19 shots for his fourth win of the tournament.

Brad Lambert scored for Finland (3-1).

Karri Piiroinen, who played for the Ontario Hockey League’s Windsor Spitfires last season, had 36 saves in the loss.

Canada and Finland cruised through the preliminary round with three straight wins apiece and outscored their opposition a combined 44-7.

Their New Year’s Eve matchup was each country’s toughest test of the tournament so far, with Canada earning the higher grade.

The group stage, with two groups of five teams each, will span the first seven days of competition and end on New Year’s Eve. The eight surviving teams will have New Year’s Day off before returning to action for the quarterfinals on Jan. 2. The winners of those games will advance to the semifinals two days later.

Are the 2021 World Juniors in danger of being cancelled?

December 9, 2020 by June Boylan Leave a Comment

Gene Principe and Sam Cosentino discuss if the 2021 World Juniors are in jeopardy of being cancelled or postponed.

Jack Hughes and Alexis Lafreniere will not play in the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship.

The forwards were the No. 1 picks in the past two NHL Drafts (Hughes in the 2019 NHL Draft by the New Jersey Devils, Lafreniere in the 2020 NHL Draft by the New York Rangers).

“We need Jack to concentrate on the Devils,” New Jersey general manager Tom Fitzgerald said Thursday. “The silver lining for Jack [and all of our young players] during this pandemic was a lengthy opportunity to gain strength and weight to compete in the NHL when we start.”

The 19-year-old from the United States scored 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) while averaging 15:52 of ice time in 61 games as a rookie last season.

“Jack put in a ton of work and commitment to his craft (in the offseason),” Fitzgerald said. “Our No. 1 priority for Jack is to have him ready, physically and mentally, and healthy for the start of the 2020-21 season, whenever that day is.”

An official start date for the season has not yet been announced.

The 2021 WJC is scheduled to be held Dec. 25 to Jan. 5 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, with no fans in the building and in a secure zone similar to what the NHL used for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Teams are scheduled to arrive in Edmonton on Dec. 13.
