Hockey Canada announced Thursday the 25 players who will represent Canada at the upcoming 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championship from Aug. 20-31 at WinSport Arena at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary.

Despite being just 18-years-old, Team Canada defenceman Jamie Drysdale came into the 2021 World Junior Championship in Edmonton with a veteran poise. While this year's tournament ended with a silver medal instead of gold for Canada, Drysdale took a notable step forward with his play.

For the second year in a row, forward Quinton Byfield is the youngest player on Team Canada at the World Junior Championship. Now 18 and fresh off being drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Kings in October’s NHL Draft, the expectations to perform are much higher for the Newmarket, Ont., native.

After the conclusion of the World Junior Summer Showcase, TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins Mark Masters to take a closer look at Canadiens prospects Michael Hage and Aatos Koivu and their impressive weeks at the event.

Canada wrapped up the World Junior Summer Showcase with a 6-2 win against the United States on Saturday. "It's always great being the Americans," said defenceman Kashawn Aitcheson with a smile. "So, yeah, it felt good."

Flames first round pick Cullen Potter scored on Saturday and finished the World Junior Summer Showcase with five points, which tied for the Team USA lead. The 18-year-old from Minneapolis spoke to TSN about his strong camp and the potential of playing in a hometown World Juniors.

Michael Hage sealed Canada's win on Saturday with an empty-net goal. The Canadiens prospect scored in all four games at the World Junior Summer Showcase. "He was one of our top guys," said coach Dale Hunter. The Michigan Wolverines forward earned praise for his competitiveness.

Canucks prospect Wilson Bjorck played alongside younger brother Viggo, who is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NHL draft, at the World Junior Summer Showcase this week. The pair are hoping to live out a childhood dream by playing together again for Sweden this Christmas.

Aatos Koivu picked an assist on Saturday as Finland beat rival Sweden to clinch first place at the World Junior Summer Showcase. The Canadiens prospect, who led the event in goals with six, feels like he will carry the momentum gained this week into next season.

Aatos Koivu outscored fellow Habs prospect LJ Mooney 2-1 to help Finland beat the U.S. on Friday. Koivu is up to six goals to lead the World Junior Summer Showcase. He also outscored Michael Hage 2-1 during a game against Canada, which ended in a heated exchange between the pair.

Canada fell 8-4 to Sweden on Friday at the World Junior Summer Showcase. Players didn't make any excuses for the performance. "We never want to put out an effort like that," said forward Cole Reschny. "Too many lackadaisical shifts."

Calgary Flames first-round pick Cole Reschny scored a goal on Friday and earned a positive review from coach Dale Hunter despite Canada's loss to Sweden at the World Junior Summer Showcase.

Canada and the United States will renew their rivalry on Saturday at the World Junior Summer Showcase. It may be the middle of the offseason, but players on both sides are expecting an intense battle.

Victor Johansson scored a goal as Sweden defeated Canada on Friday at the World Junior Summer Showcase. Johansson enjoyed the opportunity to go up against fellow Leafs prospect Ben Danford.

Canada has suffered lopsided losses to Finland and Sweden at the World Junior Summer Showcase, giving up 14 goals in those two games. TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins Mark Masters to discuss what's gone wrong for Canada, if the poor results matter, and how Cole Reschny and Victor Johansson have stood out.

Sweden scored four goals in the second period to pull away and send Canada to an 0-2 record at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Minnesota. Eric Nilson scored twice for the Swedes, Jack Berglund had three assists, and Leafs 2024 fourth round pick Victor Johansson netted his first of the showcase.

Hockey Canada announced Friday that it has invited 92 players from its men’s, women’s and para hockey teams to attend its National Teams Orientation Camp, set for Aug. 26-28 in Calgary.

Cole Reschny came out on top during the shootout game at the end of Thursday's practice at Canada's summer camp for World Junior hopefuls. But the Flames first rounder was more interested in highlighting his two-way game and versatility.
