The knockout stages of the 2017 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship are upon us. Boston College Eagles Colin White, Casey Fitzgerald and Joe Woll have been key contributors for the Americans so far, who went 4-0 in group play and topped their pool. They will now seek to pick up some medals before coming home to rejoin BC on Saturday at Frozen Fenway vs. Providence.

Semifinals
Wednesday, January 4
3:00 PM: Semifinal #1; Bell Centre, Montreal; NHL Network/TSN
If the US and Canada both advance to the semifinals, this will be the USA’s semifinal time slot (Canada will get the primetime night cap). Presumably, if the USA advances and Canada doesn’t, the US would play in prime time. If prognosticators are right, this will likely be a USA-Russia semifinal, though this has been a crazy tournament.
7:30 PM: Semifinal #2; Bell Centre, Montreal; NHL Network/TSN
If Canada makes the semifinals, this will be their time slot. If chalk holds, it’ll be Canada vs. Sweden.
