Juniors
Over at The Hockey Writers, I've completed a series featuring players to watch at this year's
World Junior Hockey Championships in Buffalo, NY.
Part 1: Team Canada players were highlighted
Part 2 highlighted some of the young guns who are vital to the success of the other contending nations – the favoured defending champions
USA, along with Sweden and Russia
Part 3 features the best of the rest - who might emerge as "El Nino" did last year and what will Niederreiter do for an encore?
