Canada WJC U20 2023-24

This is going to be a very hard team to make. Based on rookie tournament and pre-season - Easton Cowan will also be getting a strong look.

A ton of really good prospects on that list though, so he would be far from a lock. But he will be in the conversation with a lot of these other guys.

His name definitely came up while I was putting this together. I think his age makes cutting him a lot easier as he's still eligible for next year's tournament.

Same thing happened with Colby Barlow: you can find similar production out of players one year older but this is their last kick at the can, Barlow is still eligible for the 2024-25 tournament.

Definitely. This crop is incredibly deep.

Oh I assume Macklin Celebrini will also be quite a likely candidate. Super young but projected 1st overall pick in 2024. So possible for sure.

I think he makes the camp but as you said above, the team is going to be incredibly difficult to make. Eiserman likely makes the USA roster simply because he's better than at least half of the names on that team, I don't think Celebrini has that advantage with this crop.

That could change on a dime if he crushes the NCAA competition though. We wait.

I’m going to base this on the fact that you know way more than me about Canadian prospects but does Bjarnsson have a good chance of being one of the goalies? I know some others have made these and they have included him, just curious!
