Four London Knights Heading to World Junior Selection Camp: Is This the Start of a Dynasty?

With four London Knights invited to Canada’s World Junior selection camp – forwards Easton Cowan and Denver Barkey, and defensemen Oliver Bonk and Sam Dickinson – is this a sign of things to come for the Knights? Could this be the core of a future Memorial Cup contender, or even a dominant force in the OHL for years to come? What kind of impact could these players have on the World Junior team if they make the final roster? Share your thoughts and predictions.

Beyond the Knights, the camp features 30 CHL players. Is this a good representation of the league’s talent? Are there any snubs that jump out? Who are your dark horse candidates to make the team, and which players are facing the most pressure to perform at camp?

The World Juniors start on Boxing Day. How will the relatively short timeframe between the selection camp and the tournament impact player preparation and team chemistry? What are your bold predictions for the tournament? Will Canada reclaim gold? Let the debate begin.
