The IIHF 2019 World Junior Championship is underway in Vancouver and Victoria, Canada. The tournament has already seen Team Canada deliver a 14-0 beatdown of Team Denmark, among some other exciting games, but it is also notable for featuring three potential future Capitals.
Alex Alexyev, Tobias Geisser, and Martin Fehervary are all competing in the Championship for their respective countries: Russia, Switzerland and Slovakia.
Alexeyev — who has been lighting up the WHL with the Red Deer Rebels — notched a secondary assist on a Pavel Shen goal in Russia’s match against Denmark on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Fehervary is captaining Slovakia and has an assist through two WJC games.
