Chris is solo-dolo for Episode 26 and talking all things World Juniors. Tons of games have been played so far in the World Juniors and we have seen tons of highlight reel goals and saves. Projected 1st overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and Boston University star Macklin Celebrini notches 5 points (1 G, 4 A) for Team Canada in a blowout 10-0 win over Latvia. Czechia unfortunately loses top Defenseman Adam Jiricek to a brutal knee injury and will be out for the tournament. Jiri Kulich and Eduard Sale light it up against Czechia over Norway with each getting a hat trick. Germany upsets Team Finland and Chris also gives his first Mock Draft of the 2024 NHL Draft picks 1-9 if the season were to end today.
UMass Amherst Captain and Nashville Predators prospect Ryan Ufko joins the pod to talk about his journey to UMass, his experience playing in last year's World Juniors as well as his NHL Draft experience and getting selected in the 4th round at pick 115 to the Nashville Predators.
