The 2025 World Junior Championship is just around the corner and the teams involved are quickly finalizing their roster for those that’ll be attending this year’s tournament. As a result, it’s time to look at which prospects from NHL teams made the cut and will compete to claim World Junior supremacy.

Like previous tournaments, it’s always a great opportunity for fans to get a glimpse of the players of tomorrow that can potentially suit up for their favourite NHL team. In total, there are 103 drafted prospects participating this year. In addition, 52 players were selected in the first two rounds, while 25 were first round selections.
In terms of who will be representing their NHL club, the Nashville Predators, Seattle Kraken and St. Louis Blues lead the way with eight players representing their club. The only team that won’t have any players attending is the Boston Bruins after they had two last year with Dans Locmelis and Matthew Poitras.
