WORLD JUNIOR A CHALLENGE PREVIEW: SEllisHockey names his top 2023 NHL Draft prospects to watch:
Like many other prospect showcases during the COVID-19 era, the World Junior A Challenge was put on hold for two years before making its triumphant return.
The five-team tournament heads to Cornwall, Ont. this weekend, with Canada , USA, Sweden and Latvia making up the lineup. It’s a weird, but fun tournament put on by Hockey Canada every year before the World Junior Championship, with Canada’s two clubs boasting its top Junior A talent from the CJHL. The BCHL, typically seen as the best Jr. A league in Canada, backed out of the CJHL a few years ago, with Hockey Canada electing to skip them altogether.
For USA, they bring a select team of players in the USHL. Some are drafted, others looking to hear their names called They’re typically one of the better teams, having won a medal in every year they’ve participated. Russia were the defending champions, but they weren’t invited due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. So that makes Sweden – a team filled with quality 2023 NHL Draft prospects – the team to watch, and one most expect to skate away with gold.
It’s a weird tournament, but one many scouts keep a close eye on. Here’s a look at 10 notable names to watch in Cornwall over the next week:The younger brother of 2022 World Junior Championship defenseman Mans Forsfjall, Zeb could use this tournament to help boost him into the first round.
