The last few years' World Juniors Championship can serve as motivation for Team Canada. Canada is coming off back-to-back fifth-place finishes at the WJC.
This hopeful redemption tour will begin on Friday, Dec. 26, against Czechia. Canada is all too familiar with this team, as they were the ones to upset Canada in the quarterfinals last WJC.
Team Canada's Gavin McKenna came up with a motto for his nation's role in this year's WJC. McKenna said, "Every team's goal is to win it, and we want to kill their dreams."
This year's team is looking to make its way back to the podium after several years of disappointment.
