They’ll square off with the Russians starting at 5:00 pm CST. Canada will turn to Devon Levi between the pipes Wednesday despite him being one of the few players on the team never to play in Major Junior hockey.

Prince Albert Daily Herald Barring things going completely off the rails in the next 48 hours, the 2021 edition of the World Juniors will get underway on Christmas Day.  There will be some slight changes, as is the norm in the COVID-19 world, with Edmonton’s Rogers Place hosting all round-robin games instead of the tournament being split between Alberta’s capital and Red Deer.  Also, there will not be any promotion or relegation this year, which means all 10 teams in this year’s event w...

Growing up in the Montreal area, Devon Levi met Roberto Luongo at a goalie camp. "I remember seeing him in the rink and I went up to him and I wanted to introduce myself," Levi said.
