Updated World Juniors schedule released
Following the Dec. 18 announcement that the Lordco Road to the World Juniors schedule was being amended, Hockey Canada has finalized a new pre-tournament schedule in advance of the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Edmonton and Red Deer will play host to five pre-tournament games on Dec. 23 featuring all 10 competing teams. The new schedule includes a Canada-Russia match-up and last year’s gold medallists taking on the 2021 bronze winners.
“Although the Lordco Road to the World Juniors includes less games than originally anticipated, we are thrilled to unveil the updated pre-tournament schedule and provide the competing teams with an opportunity to play in advance of the World Juniors,” said Dean McIntosh, vice-president of events and properties with Hockey Canada. “With five exciting games scheduled for Edmonton and Red Deer, we look forward to the teams hitting the ice in both communities and getting the World Juniors festivities underway.”
