MEDIA GUIDE 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship a Chance to See the Best Ice Hockey Players MEDIA GUIDE 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship A chance to see the best ice hockey players One misconception about the IIHF World Junior Championships is that it features “future” stars. If you look at the development of the event, you will realize that this magnificent tournament features players who are world class stars already today. The World Juniors also show, by the way, how quickly a year goes by. Let’s take you back to December 2012 and the IIHF World U20 event in Ufa, Russia. Canada’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who led the tournament in scoring with 15 points in 6 games is today an integral part of the Edmonton Oilers while his countrymen Jonathan Huberdeau (9 points in 6 games in Ufa) and Mark Scheifele (8 points in 6 games) are the future of the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets respectively. USA’s All-Star defenseman and gold winner in Ufa, Jacob Trouba, is playing sensationally well for the Winnipeg while teammate Alex Galchenyuk personifies the new generation Montreal Canadiens. Last year’s dominating Finns Joel Armia and Markus Granlund have both signed NHL contracts and are biding their time in the AHL, but Swedes Filip Forsberg, Elias Lindholm and Rickard Rakell have all played NHL games this season. So think about this when you watch the 38th IIHF World Junior event in Malmö – you may most likely have one chance to see the best players. Next year they are probably celebrated professionals either in the NHL or in any of the European leagues. A good example of the natural turnover is the defending World Champion United States: from last year’s golden roster in Ufa only there are only three returnees on the 2014 team. But this is one reason why this tournament is such a success. Players play their hearts out because there is this sense of urgency among them – you may only get one shot at winning a medal. The next year you may already be able to make a living from playing hockey, but the chance to stand on the podium and celebrate a world junior championship is gone forever. For the country with the most improved development program in the last 6-7 years, taking the IIHF World Juniors to Malmö was a natural choice. Sweden has hosted the event in the far north, in the central parts, but never in the south. Although the province of Scania (Skåne in Swedish) is not traditionally hockey country in Sweden, the district has developed some good hockey talent lately. Boston Bruin’s Carl Söderberg is from Malmö, while St. Louis Blues’ Magnus Pääjärvi – one of Sweden’s best World Junior performers – got his hockey schooling in this city. Anaheim’s sensational rookie Hampus Lindholm is also a Scania product (from Jonstorp, close to Helsingborg). But maybe the best reason to go to Malmö is the arena, Sweden’s best. The only thing it is missing is a major league team in the SHL. But that’s a story for another day. Enjoy your stay in Malmö.

Canada has won a total of 15 WJC gold medals, including four straight triumphs from 2005 to 2009. But then things went awry. It became, by Canadian hockey standards, with "only" silver medals in 2010 and 2011, a bronze medal in 2012 and the most unimaginable last year in Ufa, Russia. Hockey Canada, with no less than 446 543 registered junior players, ended up in fourth place and off the podium. Experienced and recognized hockey writer and columnist Bob McKenzie took the sledge hammer in an analysis of the young Canadians in Ufa: – Canada was out coached. – Canada let in too many goals. – Canada had the wrong players. “If you didn't know better,” Bob McKenzie wrote, “One would think that the head coach Steve Spott and his entire staff, goalie Malcolm Subban and his backup Jordan Binnington, on the road to Ufa fell off a truck filled with Swedes...” Harsh words for a fiasco that must not be repeated. So Canada has built from the ground up. In comes head coach Brent Sutter, 51, with experience in the NHL (Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils) but mainly from the WJC in 2005 and 2006, when Canada won the gold, both times without losing a single match.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.
