Well, after much anticipation, my World Junior Championships information package finally arrived today. Although it is stuffed full of information, a single 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper with a mediocre photocopy job is not what I figured the delay was all about (see my post of god-only-knows-how- long-ago). The information below starts out general, and gets more specific towards the end. Any errors are most likely mine, so don't blame the organizers, and make sure you verify the info before acting upon it. I am not affiliated with any of the sanctioning organizations (except in my capacity as a USA Hockey parent, coach, and on-ice official), and stand to realize no personal gains from the distribution of this information.
