2024 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships
The 2024 World juniors Ice Hockey Championships (2024 WJHC) will be the 48th edition of the IIHF World Junior Championship. It will begin on December 26, 2023 and will end with the gold medal game being played on January 5, 2024. This marks the seventh time that Sweden will host the WJIHC, and the first time in Gothenburg. Canada will be entering the tournament as two time defending champions.
The U.S. National Junior Team is a step closer to being finalized for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship. USA Hockey announced Monday the roster for its final selection camp, which will begin Dec. 14 in Plymouth, Mich., before the team leaves for Sweden.
The camp will include 16 forwards, 10 defensemen and three goaltenders. Team USA can bring 22 skaters and three goaltenders, but will only be able to roster 20 and three at the actual tournament. Any player replaced over the course of the tournament will not be able to return once replaced.
FloHockey’s Chris Peters will be on hand at the camp and covering the tournament live from Gothenburg. Here is his breakdown of the roster, who made the camp, who didn’t and a projected depth chart.
