Beau Akey gets invite.. Tij Iginla doesn't .. ?

Only 2 invites from the Q.. that league is losing relevance.

Small forwards.. 😬

Notable players not available to play.. .. Macklin Celibrini, Connor Bedard, and Zack Benson.. all in NHL.

Oh.. and realize this.. Gavin McKenna leads teh WHL in scoring.. and will dominate this tourney..

He's 16 .. 😲

I'm hopeful Gavin McKenna gets a spot. He's the first guy from the dub I've made a point of going to see in a while. I think Canada gets too cute and too political with player selection. My personal soft spot for the Yukon aside, just pick the best players

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

Absolute Truth.

IMO Canada's worst obstacle to winning these tournaments is the guys picking the teams.. we always have the roster that can beat anyone.. we just have to pick them.

When Canada was on top every year in the WJHC's they'd start going "equity" mode and making sure they had equal representation of Q players when there were better choices in the WHL or OHL.. even some NCAA guys were passed over because they weren't in the CHL.. hockey Canada played politics because they thought it didn't matter who they picked for the roster.. everyone wanted a piece of the glow of glory.

The coach they chose this year (Dave Cameron) is the same as last year.. came in 6th.. guy is the same world juniors coach for that EPIC 3rd period melt down gold medal loss vs. Russia in 2011 (in Buffalo).. Canada was up by 3-0 in the 3rd period .. Russia scored 2 goals in 13 seconds in the 3rd.. Cameron called a timeout after it was tied (too late) and proceeded to have a melt-down on the bench reaming the kids out.. you could see the kids sag from it.. after that they went out and promptly gave up 2 more goals.. lost 5-3... not my choice for this year's coach.

McKenna's a lock icon_nod

Oh wow!

Pretty significant decision by TC.. Akey didn't even play last year.. he must be really impressing people.. he's got excellent mobility.. good smarts.. we'll have an Oiler to watch for once on TC juniors.. been a while! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

CHL article that includes a blurb on Akey..
https://chl.ca/article/pinelli-akey-mynio-relish-opportunity -to-represent-canada-on-the-international-stage-for-the-firs t-time-at-the-2025-world-juniors/

Quote:

Similarly, Anholt offered praise for OHL and Barrie Colts defenceman Beau Akey, whose season in 2023-24 was significantly reduced to only 14 games due to double shoulder surgery.

β€œThere’s a guy who defends with his legs. He can really, really deny entries into the zone. The way he skates,” said Anholt. β€œHe’s probably one of the guys that we got to continue to get to know better, especially the coaching staff.”

Earlier in the week, in a conversation with DailyFaceoff’s Steven Ellis, a scout likened Akey to Minnesota Wild defenceman Brock Faber, suggesting that he is β€œbetter than his stats suggest” and highlighted the 19-year-old’s skating, speed, and footwork as part of the reasons why β€œhe’s one of the OHL’s elite blueliners”. Despite the confidence of some in Akey’s game, it didn’t prevent him and his Barrie Colts teammate Cole Beaudoin from feeling some nerves ahead of the roster announcement.

β€œWe were sitting beside each other on the bus [after the game on Friday], kind of like: β€˜wow, there’s nothing that we can do now.’ And we were both talking about how nervous we were,” shared the Edmonton Oilers prospect, who described the moments he shared with Beaudoin after Friday’s second and final game against the U SPORTS Selects. β€œIt’s pretty cool to celebrate something like this with [Beaudoin].”
