The 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship is here, and the Colorado Avalanche have four prospects competing for the gold.
It’s that time of the year again: the world of hockey gives us a belated Christmas present in the shape of the World Junior Championship. It’s a great opportunity to get some extra hockey in our lives and get another look at your team’s prospects and other young talents. In the case of the Colorado Avalanche, they have four prospects representing three countries.
The under-20 tournament is taking place in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, beginning on December 26 and ending on January 5, 2019. We’re just a couple of days into the competition, so there’s still time for you to cheer on these prospects and their respective teams.
But first, let’s meet the younglings. Some of them were drafted by the Avs this summer, others got here through some complicated trades, and a couple of them are spending the season far from Colorado, but they’re all looking to make it to the team’s roster soon.
