Do you miss Red Wings hockey?

Well, good news. You're about to get a taste of the Red Wings' future.

While the rest of the hockey world is just beginning to settle in until mid-September, prospects from around the league are getting ready for their moment in the sun at this year's IIHF World Junior Championship (Aug. 9-20) in Edmonton, Alberta, in just a few weeks.

And once again, you'll be wanting to keep an eye on Team Sweden to catch several future Red Wings in action. Forward Theodor Niederbach and defensemen Simon Edvinsson and William Wallinder are all expected to compete for the Swedes.
