I am taking my son to Pittsburgh to catch a hockey and baseball game in April. My brother in law used to be the assistant trainer for the local QMJHL here and the trainer there is now the head trainer

Holy f***, Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung, out 6 months, might end his career, sad news man as a fan.

It's a great tournament

 

It's a good tournament. The U20 Basketball is also a good tournament, it doesn't get overhyped in the U.S (or hyped at all). Honestly it's purely the hype machine at TSN that annoys me about this tourney. The rest of the world barely does care about this tourney, but Canada (via TSN) makes it seem like it's the biggest annual international tourney out there. It's just u20 hockey and there still are only 5 teams in the tourney that are truly competing for gold.

As someone who watches junior hockey regularly I think it's great to see all the best junior players in one tournament. I can see why the TSN hype machine is annoying but they've been doing it for so long that now every Canadian player grew up watching the tournament as a kid. Outside of Canada it is a big tournament for people who like hockey but you won't find all the people who just watch it here because of the TSN hype machine.

 

TSN broadcasted the U18s last April which was probably half the same team as the current U20, but with 100% less hype.
