The United States has been excelling in hockey, generating significant excitement for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
On Saturday, December 27, the USA's U20 team will face Switzerland as part of the World Juniors Championship.
Team USA is once again loaded with talent, including defenseman Cole Hudson, Boston Bruins center James Hagens, and goaltender 19-year-old Nick Kempf.
A unique attribute of this year's team is that they're 0.96 years younger than last year's team. Can the junior Americans make another run at the WJC?
