The World Juniors -- officially called the International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship -- will be held this year (and part of next), in Ostrava and Trinec, Czech Republic. And the tournament has a heavy New England influence.

The World Juniors start Dec. 26 and run through the final, which is Jan. 5. Below are the main storylines to watch over the course of the popular tournament.
