Asia Surprises World Juniors After 3

[Mike 708]

The World Junior rosters are now public, and the league is buzzing.  The VHL World Juniors gives a chance for the league's youth to showcase their talent on the world stage.  It is much different than the VHLM in the sense that the skill is more significant, and players represent their nationality.  The favorites to win the juniors would have to be the usual hockey powerhouses, the USA, Canada, or even Europe.  Most experts projected Asia to finish near the bottom in a run with Team World for last place.  Asia has never won gold at this event.

 

That does not seem to be the case after the first three games by each team has completed.  Team Asia has a commanding first-place lead after going 3-0 sitting on 9 points.  The next closest team only has 4 points at a 1-1-1 record.  Team Asia is also the only team with a positive goal differential.  Stay tuned for the rest of the World Juniors over the coming weeks it should be a good one.
