1 min read
Vancouver Canucks’ future looks bright as two of their highly touted prospects are projected to represent Team Canada at the upcoming IIHF World Junior Championship. The annual tournament, a showcase for the world’s top young talent, is set to begin in late December, and these Canucks prospects are expected to play pivotal roles for the Canadian squad.
The Canucks Prospects in Focus
1. Connor Levis
• Position: Forward
• Drafted: 2nd round (51st overall), 2023 NHL Draft
• Levis has quickly made a name for himself with his goal-scoring prowess and high hockey IQ. A dynamic offensive player, he is known for his ability to create scoring opportunities both for himself and his teammates. With his strong showing in early-season play, Levis is poised to add firepower to Team Canada’s already potent lineup.
2. Hunter Brzustewicz
• Position: Defenseman
• Drafted: 3rd round (75th overall), 2023 NHL Draft
• A skilled puck-moving defenseman, Brzustewicz has been impressing with his ability to transition the play and quarterback the power play. His vision and calm under pressure make him a key candidate to help drive Canada’s offense from the back end.
Canada consistently fields one of the strongest rosters in the World Juniors, and the inclusion of Levis and Brzustewicz would bolster their depth in both offensive and defensive roles. Both players bring a combination of skill, speed, and hockey sense that align perfectly with Team Canada’s high-paced, aggressive style of play.
