All of these Canadian forwards are top 5 prospects for the NHL teams. They should absolutely be able to cleanly bean a Latvian junior goalie with decent shooting opportunities. Stop with the over passing and low percentage passes through traffic. More on reddit.com

r/hockey on Reddit: The attendance at Canada vs Latvia World Jr Championship
2 days ago - Maybe people just aren’t travelling as much but to be so close to Canada and not getting anyone coming, that’s crazy to see Continue this thread ... Finger prints and picture taken at border crossing as well as searching phone for social media posts? Yea, Fuck that. Not going to the US unless it’s for work. ... I was watching the Latvia game on tsn and in the intermission one of the presenters said “there’s only about 1/3 of capacity in attendance, really low for a WJC game involving Canada, must be because of how Latvia plays hockey.” And I almost lost it lmao, surely has nothing to do with the 51st state rhetoric, tariffs and their Gestapo rounding up people on the streets.

Ivankovic starts for Canada; Maurins for Latvia.

TSNs 1 and 4 have this one if you're in Canada.
