While Canada loaded up with a veteran-laden wagon for the World Championship [https://thehockeynews.com/news/latest-news/does-team-canadas-world-championship-squad-have-the-sidney-crosby-effect], which begins Friday, USA has doubled and tripled down on youth [https://thehockeynews.com/international/latest-news/can-this-roster-break-usas-world-championship-semifinal-curse], going with a group that should provide no end of excitement, puck pressure, pace and, probably, a few mistakes. The Americans have four guys who were NHL rookies this season on their roster and three who played college hockey. When your oldest player is 31-year-old Brady Skjei, you know you're a young team.

And although last year's winners, Czechia, and silver medalists, Switzerland, are in Team USA's Group B, also having Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan and Norway to face in the round-robin puts the Americans in a desirable spot to do some damage.
