The World U18 Championships get started in Fargo and Moorhead this week. In lieu of actually making it up to Fargo, I went to a couple of the pre-tournament games in the Twin Cities and took fairly diligent notes on a couple of the teams. As such, I'll be giving my thoughts on some players from the US, Canada, Finland, and Sweden this week.
We'll be starting things off with Sweden and the United States tonight after their final exhibition game, and then post about Canada and Finland tomorrow.
