EDMONTON, Alta. – As the puck gets set to drop on the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship, Hockey Canada is proud to work in partnership with and recognize a team of eight corporate sponsors who are putting their support and name behind the event.

“We are grateful to each business for their contribution in areas such as health and safety, fan engagement and player preparation for the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship,” said Dana Gladstone, vice-president of partnership strategy and licensing with Hockey Canada. “It is the generosity of each of our sponsors that make events like the World Juniors as successful as they are, and we look forward to incorporating our new sponsors into this year’s event.”

AMJ Campbell is Canada’s largest coast-to-coast moving company and is supporting the World Juniors by providing storage and transportation services that are essential to bringing the event to life.
