Here are some things to know:

All teams are due to arrive in Edmonton by Dec. 13, and they'll be under strict health guidelines and monitoring for the duration of their time.

The tournament will be played without fans.

NHL teams have been informed that they will not be able to send scouts to the event for live viewing.

The IIHF also will allow expanded rosters, going from 23 players to 25.

The tournament field is frozen, as no team will be relegated or promoted to the top level of U20 hockey.

How are teams preparing for the tournament amid unique circumstances?

Hockey Canada recently announced the 46-player roster for its month long camp. Players will be in a bubble in Red Deer, Alberta, starting on Nov. 16 and ending on Dec. 13. The reason Hockey Canada felt it necessary to have such a long camp? Neither the Western Hockey League nor Ontario Hockey League is expected to return to action before the end of the World Juniors. The WHL hopes to return Jan. 6, and the OHL recently announced it is targeting Feb. 6 for the start of a shortened season. That leaves a large chunk of Canada's player pool on the sideline until the tournament begins.
 
I'm gathering they show US games. I don't think I have that channel as part of my package of 200 shit channels anyways. Gonna need find some shitty stream that will keep freezing up. Somehow this is the best we can do with all this fabulous technology 🤦
 
I'm liking the UNDER in the first two games Christmas day. Reasoning that there has been issues getting exhibition games played prior to the official start. So for weeks before the tourney these teams have only been practicing . This usually results in offenses being out of sync. Plus I don't believe the Swiss/Slovaks are offensive powerhouses anyway. Germany Finland? The Germans will play a "prevent" style defense as they are outclassed by the Finns. I'm thinking goals will be hard to come by.
