2026 World Juniors tournament to head to a brand new location they've never been to before

The 2022 World Juniors wrapped up last night with Canada securing gold, in a 3-2 overtime classic. Canada carried a two goal lead into the third period. Finland managed to tie the game and force overtime.

Finland came close in the overtime frame. The puck was on a Finnish players' stick in the slot and he flipped the puck over Canada's goalie Dylan Garand, but at the last minute, before the puck crossed the line Canada's captain Mason McTavish saved the game. Approximately a minute later Kent Johnson went down the ice and was able to win the game for Canada with a beautiful goal.

TSN's Gord Miller reports that the 2026 World Juniors will be held in the United States. Miller adds that a likely destination would be Las Vegas, Nevada.

2023: Halifax/Moncton, Canada
2024: Gothenburg (Göteborg), Sweden.
2025: Canada hold the hosting rights to the 2025, 2027, and 2030 Junior tournaments.
2026: USA holds the rights with many speculating Vegas being the location
