HS will introduce interesting players to the tournament starting on Killing Day.
NHL players are falling behind in the Olympics , but the future of the World Hockey Tournament is twinkling the stars.
The World Cup in Edmonton and Red Deer will be kicked off almost coldly as several practice matches had to be canceled due to a worsening pandemic. However, the calendar as a whole did not change.
The Young Lions will meet in the United States on the Thursday before Christmas Eve, and the actual tournament will get underway on Midsummer’s Day.
“The USA match is important and it shows how to play a fast-paced game in a small trough. It’s good to face the top team, which is one of the favorites in the tournament, ”the Young Lions head coach Antti Pennanen told HS from Edmonton.
After the two-day quarantine related to entry, Finland has been able to train every day since Saturday.
According to Pennanen, the world now looks very different from when the team left in the middle of last week. There have been more restrictions on Edmonton, there is coronation testing every day, and the team only has to spend time with each other.
“All the workouts have gone according to plan. Now let’s go this way and be grateful to be able to play. ”
In Canada the World Cup is much more popular than the World Cup for adults. Edmonton and Red Deer are trying to get the audience into the arenas, although the micron transformation is rampant there as well.
Last year, players walked from their hotel rooms to the Rogers Place adjoining tunnel, but now it’s different.
“The bus goes to the hall when you want to avoid contact with the audience. It’s the biggest change, and the organizers are trying to make sure the audience gets there. ”
Home team Canada is becoming the biggest favorite, but the challengers Finland, Sweden and Russia are coming close.
The tournament brings out new stars, and HS picks up a few players who would have the material to hurt the titles.
Central striker Shane Wright, 17, charms when successful across Canada and can pop into the top of the tournament’s most interesting names. Wright will be booked for NHL number one next summer if nothing special happens.
Wright is a contemporary edition About Steve Yzerman, which led Detroit with an iron grip to win the Stanley Cup in the late 1990s. Hockey experts praise the youngster as a player with no flaws. And still skate well.
Cole Perfetti tried NHL momentum in Winnipeg this season. There was still room for improvement, even though the skills are in order.
In the US game Finns will receive Logan Cooley, a holistic center with a playful eye. The winger could be told to get a free spot and the puck will definitely get there.
Finland perhaps the two most interesting players are JYP’s power striker Joakim Kemell and a quarterback defender Topi Niemelä.
JYP’s Joakim Kemell was in a wild mood in the fall before his injury.
Without injury, Kemell, 17, could be among the top spot on the League points market. Playing boldly and open-mindedly, Kemell even led the scoring in the fall.
Kemelli’s shot evokes respect. It’s tough, leaves quickly and did well.
By the beginning of November, Kemell was the most interesting Finnish hockey player playing in Europe. Rigging situation then locked in play Kristian Pospisilin with led to a long absence, and since then the power has disappeared.
The young Lions are hoping for Kemell to rediscover his mighty vibe.
Topi Niemelä, who represents the fly, was chosen the best defender of the World Championships in youth a year ago.
Niemelä was chosen as the best defender in the youth World Cup last year, but Niemelä said at the time that the bronze felt better than a personal award.
“Topi is one of our leading players and I expect him to do what he has done so far. That’s enough. He plays overall well, ”Pennanen praised.
A lot says about Niemelä’s level that he is the second best scorer in the Flies with his wild powers of 6 + 18. Niemelä is Toronto’s third round NHL reservation.
Russian the number one target is Matvei Mitškov. The name may sound familiar, and at least he made himself known in the Karelia tournament with his aerial paint.
A highly skilled Russian will compete for the place of the first reservation in 2023.
Swedish Alexander Holtz played six games in the New Jersey Devils this fall. The scorer was Holtz.
Junior Kronor has enough level and breadth when the team has seven first-round bookings. Along with Holtz, you can rise to the top names William Eklund, a good two-way general.
Austria is one of the small hockey countries in the tournament and plays in the first block of Finland.
Despite everything, Austria Marco Kasper is one of the future players in the tournament. Kasper plays in the Swedish League (SHL).
“He started in Rögle’s A-Youth and plays big minutes in SHL. A guy who is on the move all the time, plays energetically, is a skilled and very good skater, ”says NHL Euroscouting Göran Stubb said.
“Even if he plays on a weak team, he can be one of the stars of the race.”
Finland’s Young Lions will meet in the practice match in the USA on Thursday at 9 pm.
