World Juniors on TSN
Last year, 15.4 million unique Canadian viewers watched some part of the World Juniors on TSN and TSN2.

Earlier this year, TSN reached a new 10-year agreement that extends the network’s long-standing partnership with Hockey Canada beginning in 2014. The new deal, negotiated exclusively with TSN, gives the network multi-platform media rights to all Hockey Canada events, including the highly-anticipated 2015 and 2017 IIHF World Junior Championships co-hosted by Toronto and Montreal.

TSN has been televising the World Juniors since 1991.
