About World Juniors Hockey 2023 Final

Thanks to their 6-2 victory over Team U.S.A., the Canadians are making their fourth consecutive appearance in the finals. Canadian goaltender Thomas Milic stopped 43 shots in the semi-final, with Joshua Roy notching two goals to put the American team on ice. Canada now has the opportunity to win its 20th overall World Juniors championship, and it would be the first team since 2009 to win back-to-back gold medals at the tournament.

To do so, however, they’ll have to get past Czechia. The Czech team beat the Canadians in the first game of the tournament on Dec. 26, winning by a score of 5-2. This will be Czechia’s first appearance in the final since 2001, which is also the last time it won the tournament. They’ll need to lean on stars like David Jiricek and Jiri Kulich if they want to beat the Canadians on their own home ice and return to Europe with the gold medal.
