USA vs Finland: World Hockey Challenge U17 Live Stream, Schedule, Lineups, Injury Report, Form Guide, And Head to Head, November 3, 2022

Future NHL stars have traditionally been highlighted in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, usually a season or two before the NHL Draft. This event has included some of the greatest and brightest NHL players throughout the years, and it has provided a sneak peek at some of the future stars we’ll be watching rise to the top of drafts in the future.

However, owing to pandemic limitations, the U17 Challenge has not taken place for the past two years. Hockey Canada is the organization that hosts the competition, which has evolved over the years into a tighter, more competitive tournament.

It almost feels like a foreshadowing of the World Junior Championships with a significant twist a few years from now. Canada sends three teams—Red, Black, and White—to this competition. The Canadians used to have more teams, divided up by area, but have since simplified into the three teams we see today, creating a more even level of competition.

USA Hockey sends its U.S. National Under-17 Team from the National Team Development Program in addition to Canada’s trio. This year’s competition will include include U17 teams from Finland, Sweden, and Czechia.

For an even eight teams, Russia would normally be included in the competition, but because of the invasion of Ukraine, Russian teams are temporarily barred from participating in any international sporting events.

However, with seven teams competing in this year’s competition, there are a number of potential to pay close attention to. Here are some of the players to be aware of as we approach the competition, which takes place in Langley and Delta, British Columbia, from November 3–12.
