Despite Canada’s loss and elimination Thursday, a few New Brunswick players had a chance to shine at the world junior hockey championship in Ottawa.

Caden Price (Montreal Canadiens) is a “Swiss Army knife” defender who can move the puck well, help set up plays and be a strong defensive stopper. Andrew Gibson (Nashville Predators), who at 6-foot-4, can easily manipulate opponents with his deceptive playmaking while using his strong frame to keep opponents off the puck while he looks for a play.

Ten players from three of the conference’s schools — six from Boston College, three from Boston University, and one from Providence — were part of the 25-man roster.
