The U.S. National Junior Team will open WJC play on Day 2 of the tournament with Germany.

Before getting to the rest of the preview content today, I spent some time with the guys on The Pipeline Show as they previewed the World Juniors on Christmas Day.

Guy Flaming, Dean Millard and myself take a look at Team USA’s chances, which three players are the big keys for the U.S. and even cover my pick for the all-time best WJC player for the United States. It may surprise you.

You can hear the full audio of my chat with Dean and Guy right here. Catch other team previews here.
