You may be surprised by this….there will be no fans.
Good news for the IIHF…and the fans. There WILL be a World Juniors Tournament this year!
The 2021 #WorldJuniors will be played in a bubble without spectators in Edmonton🇨🇦, in 2022 with fans in Edmonton & Red Deer. The World Juniors in Gothenburg🇸🇪 will be moved to 2024. https://t.co/LIK2g8RYiG

The plan moving forward is to have a fanless bubble in Edmonton (similar to the NHL) for this year’s tournament.
Next year, they expect to play the tournament in Edmonton and Red Deer (originally scheduled for 2021) WITH fans in attendance.
Go Canada Go!!
