Day two of the World Juniors is in the books, as four LA Kings prospects were in action. As we turn the page to day three, see how the four Kings prospects representing their country did on day two.
Jan Chovan (Slovakia)
Jan Chovan played on Slovakia’s second line today and logged 18:08 of ice time, the second most on Slovakia. The 18-year-old also added a shot on goal in Slovakia’s 4-1 win over Germany.
Liam Greentree (Canada)
Liam Greentree rarely saw the ice in Canada’s 7-5 victory over Czechia and barely touched the ice again on day two. The Kings’ first-round pick from the 2024 draft had only one shift for 22 seconds as Canada’s 13th forward in the team’s 2-1 overtime victory over Latvia.

Carter George (Canada)
Carter George served as Canada’s third goalie the day after earning the win in their victory over Czechia.
Brendan McMorrow (USA)
Brendan McMorrow played on the third line and logged 10:48 seconds of ice time for the USA. The USA narrowly defeated Switzerland, 2-1, to improve to 2-0 in the tournament.
Vojtěch Čihař (Czechia)
Vojtěch Čihař skated on Czechia’s top line and found the back of the net again. Čihař had one goal in 19:02 of ice time. He was also on the receiving end of a check to the head, but thankfully didn’t miss the rest of the game. The 18-year-old has four points (2 G, 2 A) in two games for Czechia.
Second of the tournament for Vojtech Cihar!
