Gavin McKenna is feeling the weight of Canada's heartbreaking semifinal defeat to Czechia on Sunday at the world juniors.
"It's the same feeling," McKenna said after the loss, per The Canadian Press. "Letting your country down sucks."
McKenna was one of six returnees from last year's roster, which lost to Czechia in the quarters. The 18-year-old, who's been projected as the top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft for several years, has 10 points in six games at this year's tournament.
