As noted earlier today, the World Junior Championship is taking place in Edmonton from August 9th to 20th, and the NHL Network is going to cover the event in the U.S., piggybacking on the TSN coverage in Canada.
I’ve been holding off on listing the Red Wings participating in the event until the IIHF posted the rosters for each team with Wings participants, because players could’ve gotten positive COVID tests, pulled out of the tournament due to fatigue from last year’s campaigns (like Marco Kasper of Austria) or suffered injuries during their respective countries’ selection camps (which is what happened to Shai Buium of Team USA).
The IIHF finally posted each and every team’s roster this afternoon, so here’s the breakdown of players participating in the WJC of Red Wings affiliation:
TEAM USA:
Carter Mazur, forward
Red Savage, center
TEAM CANADA
Sebastian Cossa, goaltender
Donovan Sebrango, defenseman
TEAM FINLAND
Eemil Viro, defenseman
TEAM SWEDEN
Simon Edvinsson, defenseman
William Wallinder, defenseman
Theodor Niederbach, center
TEAM CZECHIA
Jan Bednar, goaltender
