Team Canada’s projected lineup unveiled for its first game of WJC 2025!

The 2025 World Juniors begin today in Ottawa and this is what Team Canada will look like once it steps on the ice for their first game of the Tournament.

The game takes place later tonight at 7h30PMET, and earlier today, head coach Dave Cameron revealed his expected lineup for the match against Finland. Here are the projected line combinations and defense pairings for Canada to kick off their championship run:

FORWARDS
Nadeau - Ritchie - Cowan
McKenna - Catton - Pinelli
Howe - Yager - Martone
Beaudoin - Luchanko - Gauthier
Extras: Rehkopf, Cataford

DEFENSEMEN
Molendyk - Gibson
Schaefer - Bonk
Dickinson - Mynio
Extras: Akey, Price

GOALIES
George
Ivankovic
Extra: Bjarnason

And this is a look at the special units put together by Cameron:

First power-play unit: Cowan, Ritchie, Nadeau, Howe and Bonk.
Second unit: McKenna, Yager, Catton, Martone and Schaefer.

Team Canada is hungrier than ever to win the goal media after last year’s heartbreaking loss during the quarterfinal round. Team USA came out on top, but has never won back-to-back gold medals.
