Despite Canada not competing in a Gold Medal match for the first time in eleven years the Sweden-Russia final was just as exciting as if the Canucks were actually there. Prior to the 2012 Under-20 World Junior Championship (WJC), The Dean's List took an in-depth look at a few 2012 NHL draft eligible players representing their home nations in the competition.
