Great atmosphere. Best team won. Hate admitting it but Canada was the most complete team.

Great game, great atmosphere... that's why the Canadians don't sweat... just too many fans!

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
Holy Cow. They selected 14 years?!
Word at Buffalo was they were going to select the next seven years, with the USA getting it in 2025. So, the 2025 part was correct.
Now, what city the USA selects for 2025 and 2030 won't be known for a while. Typically, they select it about two years in advance.

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
Anyone know what's up with the 2019 World Juniors schedule? The schedule for 2018 was released in the preceding April. We're almost into August and we still don't have a schedule for the 2019 tournament? Tough to ponder travel plans...
What gives?

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
How detailed do you need right now?
We already know which teams are playing in which venue. It's relatively easy to figure out which days the first round and knockout games are on from past tournament schedules since that hasn't changed in years. The "only" thing we don't know are the exact days, times, and opponents each team is playing.

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
I can't imagine Buffalo gets it for the US the third time in a row. I could see Pittsburgh/Detroit/Boston and Minneapolis/St. Paul as likely destinations.

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
The last time it was in Boston, it was a bust crowd-wise. The only game that got any attention at all was the US - Canada game. The Canada games against teams other than the US were mostly Canadian youth teams who combined a trip to the Boston area for a holiday tournament with attendance at the Juniors tournament.
Might be a little different now that there are more Juniors teams in the US, but I kinda doubt it. There's just too much else going on that time of year. I'm guessing that the reason why Buffalo seems relatively successful attendance-wise is its proximity to Canada. Maybe Detroit might work for the same reason.

They did use Matthews -- I was a volunteer stat runner. The problem wasn't lack of facilities; it was lack of crowds. The Garden would make no sense. They didn't even fill Worcester for USA/Canada.

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
Games were EVERYWHERE! Amherst, Worcester, Marlboro, Boston (Northeastern) while the Medal games were at BC. I would expect them if they were to do a bid that it would be Agganis and the Garden.
The event is much different now than it was 20+ years ago and gets more attention. I think they go back to North Dakota before Boston/Pittsburgh.

Re: World Juniors - Buffalo 2018
While I think things are different, I would still hesitate about bringing the WJC to Boston. There is an inherent selfishness/arrogance about our own teams around here, which is great when you are talking about pro teams. But when you need to draw crowds for a Slovakia/Finland game, I just see it doing poorly again. Sure, any game with USA or Canada would draw well, but the rest, not so much.
