2013 IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship - Sweden Preview

Sweden will attempt to do what only four other countries (or three, if you count Soviet Union/Russia as the same) have managed to do: Successfully defend an IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship title. However, Swedish coach Roger Rönnberg is quick to point out that, while the team may be representing the same country, it is a different team on its' own journey. Paul Romanuk reports.

sweden is the hockey gigants these days, look at the talent bank and the way sweden plays , draft a swede late and he will still come good in the nhl , best skaters in the world no doubt and always underrated players. this from a country with not that many liscensed players and wich looses alot of talent to soccer for example.

Always loved the Junior Championships especially when my country Latvia is in it.

Thanks for these previews. Looking forward to the other ones. WJC is one of my favorite sporting events & a winter holidays tradition. Always very exciting to watch. Those who don't are really missing out.
