I can't wait for the tournament to begin. I watch it every year but will be even more fun to watch with an IceDogs player in the line-up.

Absolutely can't wait! So psyched to see Legein on the world stage!

Congrats to Legein and the rest of the team we are again the World Junior Champions. It was great win , thats 4 in a row now, however, Legein was injuried on his first shift of the gold medal game, looks like a separated shoulder so thats not great news for our Dogs team.

Great win in OT. Too bad Legein couldn't of played the whole game, if he had been playing Sweden might not have got the equalizer goal. Separated shoulder, how long will he be off now, 2 months?

If no surgery is needed its 2-8 weeks depending on whether its a type 1, 2 or 3 separation. If he needs surgery, his season is over.
