In just over one week, the eyes of the hockey world will be focused on Halifax and Moncton for the 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.
The 2023 tournament will feel like a normal World Juniors for the first time since December 2019. The 2021 tournament was held without fans in a bubble, while the 2022 tournament was cancelled during the preliminary round last December and then rescheduled for August, but it didn't feel the same and the fan attendance was poor to say the least.
With several top prospects, and even some projected top-ten picks next year, all in action, this year's tournament has the potential to be one to remember.
Let's take a look at one player on each roster you should keep an eye on throughout the tournament.
