A week before puck drop for World Juniors, teams are finalizing their rosters, naming their captains, and preparing for the odd, summertime tournament. After a COVID outbreak compromised the 2022 World Juniors, teams absolutely loaded up on talent this summer, which should make for entertaining hockey.

Team Canada's coming locked & loaded, featuring an extremely deep roster, as usual. On a stacked team, Head Coach Dave Cameron named his team's leadership group today:

Captain - Mason MacTavish (ANA)
Alternate - Kent Johnson (CBJ)
Alternate - Donovan Sebrango (DET)

Canada opens the tournament Saturday, August 10 vs. Latvia. They look to reassert themselves in the international order after a 2-0 loss to the Americans in the Gold Medal game in 2021.
