As coach of this youth national team, Louise St. Martin has instructed them to just focus on their own game, relax, and play with freedom. That's right, we're going no tactics, only vibes. This is a development tournament where you're here to hone your skills against the best of your age group around the world. Winning a tournament like this is nice and all, but it's not the damn Olympics or IIHF World Championship where the pressure is so much higher. This is a tournament where if you lose, so what, you tested yourself against the best there is elsewhere. If you win, it could potentially signal a golden generation for the program. In real life I (despite being the super-into-international-play-person) have many, MANY thoughts about the overglorification of the World Juniors, and how borderline toxic they've become (especially in Canada), and how I honestly prefer to watch the U18s (similar quality but, because Canada writes it off, way more enjoyable vibes-wise).
