With Thanksgiving coming up and December right around the corner, I wanted to take a look ahead to the biggest hockey event of the coming months, the World Junior Championship WJC. That means that we will soon begin to get a really good idea of which players have the best chances to represent their nation as they go for Gold. Related: World Junior Championship Guide.

Trey Augustine is another player set to make his third WJC appearance, with Bronze and Gold medals already sitting in his trophy case from the and tournaments respectively. If Plante can return to the lineup soon and look like himself again coming out of the gates, he could earn himself an invite to selection camp.

After scoring 5 points in 22 pro games in his draft year, and 18 points in 39 games last year, ASP is scoring at a historic rate this season, with 16 points through just 19 games. Few players get to play in three consecutive World Junior Chamiponships, but Sandin Pellikka is set to join that list this December as one of the most important players for Sweden.

Emmitt Finnie is a hardworking forward with the motor to be a powerful forechecking force and enough skill to put the puck in the net consistently at the junior level. He was drafted in the 7th round of the Draft on the back of a 35 point season. Finnie followed that up with a 59 point year last season, and has been off to a torrid start to the season with 29 points in his first 18 games.

Finnie has catapulted himself into the conversation for Team Canada and I suspect he will earn a selection camp invite.
