November 22, 2023 by Logan Horn
With Thanksgiving coming up and December right around the corner, I wanted to take a look ahead to the biggest hockey event of the upcoming months, the World Junior Championship (WJC).

While it was a great experience for the Red Wings to play overseas, the two games amplified a couple of their weaknesses: goaltending and team defense.
