A lot of the talk over the last week-plus over the course of the 4 Nations Face-Off – and that’s if you put aside all of the geopolitical chatter all over social media – has been about the Americans closing the gap on Canada when it comes to best-on-best hockey. And that’s true in a lot of ways.

From Michael Hrabal’s bronze-medal game performance to Ryan Leonard and Cole Hutson starring on Team USA, a number of USHL alumni impressed at this year’s WJC.

OTTAWA – The 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship is among the most memorable I’ve covered. The storylines were incredible, the results sometimes shocking and we were introduced to so many personalities over the course of the tournament that hockey fans will remember for a long time.

OTTAWA – If history were easy to make, there wouldn’t be much point in it. For USA Hockey, it’s been 49 years of World Junior Championships and now, for the first time in their history, they have gone back-to-back as World Junior Championship gold medalists.

OTTAWA – For the first time in the modern format of the World Junior Championship, Canada failed to reach the semifinal for the second consecutive year. You have to go back to 1978-80 to find the last time Canada didn’t even have a chance to play for third place in the event.

OTTAWA – USA is through the semifinals for the eighth time in 10 years at the World Junior Championship. The Americans cruised past Switzerland in a 7-2 quarterfinal that saw captain Ryan Leonard (WSH) and James Hagens (2025) each score twice in the contest.

OTTAWA – The preliminary round is over and the quarterfinals are set. Team USA and Team Sweden have won their respective groups, earning the top seeds as the elimination round has begun.

OTTAWA – Canada’s lack of discipline and USA’s ability to capitalize on three of seven power play opportunities helped make up the difference in an emotional 4-1 victory for the Americans on New Year’s Eve at the World Juniors.

OTTAWA – They don't always ask you how you won, just if you did. But when you're Canada at the World Juniors, especially after losing to Latvia for the first time in World Juniors history, the questions are coming. Canada didn’t really reassure its fans very much in a 3-0 win over Germany Sunday that saw the scoreline read 1-0 with five minutes remaining in regulation.

OTTAWA – USA is left searching for answers after losing 4-3 in overtime to Finland in their third game at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship in their third of four preliminary-round games. Tuomas Uronen (VGK) scored the overtime winner on a 3-on-1 rush following two huge saves by Petteri Rimpinen to secure two standings points with the OT victory.
