TSN is set to drop the puck on Canada's favourite holiday tradition, the one tournament that catapults the country's top junior players to hockey glory: the World Juniors. Canadians can follow Team Canada's every move in Malmö, Sweden, with complete coverage of the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship on TSN platforms from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, with pre-competition games beginning Friday, Dec. 20 (click here or see below for complete broadcast schedule).
TSN's World Juniors broadcast schedule includes:
World Juniors on TSN
Last year, 15.4 million unique Canadian viewers watched some part of the World Juniors on TSN and TSN2.
Earlier this year, TSN reached a new 10-year agreement that extends the network's long-standing partnership with Hockey Canada beginning in 2014. The new deal, negotiated exclusively with TSN, gives the network multi-platform media rights to all Hockey Canada events, including the highly-anticipated 2015 and 2017 IIHF World Junior Championships co-hosted by Toronto and Montreal.
TSN has been televising the World Juniors since 1991.
Broadcast Team
