Canada vs. USA World Juniors tickets: Best prices, date, seat map for rivalry hockey game at Canadian Tire Centre | Sporting News

New Year’s Eve means World Juniors has arrived, but this year that day brings one of the best rivalries to the ice again. Canada will face the USA on Dec. 31 in the hockey tournament’s preliminary round, the teams’ first meeting in two years.

The last time these two squads faced off, Canada took the 6-2 victory in the 2023 World Juniors semifinals. They went on to take the gold for the second straight year. In this year’s tournament, the home team is looking to repeat that magic once again on home ice in Ottawa.

However, it won’t come easy. The USA enters World Juniors as the favorite after winning it all last year. The red, white and blue have never won two consecutive gold medals, though, and that challenge just got a whole lot harder this time around as the USA must play both Canada and Finland in group play.

It will be a battle on the ice as the USA goes for a repeat while Canada tries to avenge last year’s unexpected fifth-place finish at World Juniors. While the rivals just may meet again in the playoffs, what better way to ring in the new year than a victory? 

Here’s how to celebrate and watch Canada take on USA at the 2025 World Juniors with the best deals on tickets.
