BC hockey rookie Teddy Stiga selected to USA World Juniors squad

Teddy Stiga’s time in the red, white and blue may not be over yet.

The 18-year-old Sudbury native has been named to Team USA’s 28-player 2025 Junior National Team preliminary roster for the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship. This group will attend a training camp in Plymouth, Michigan on December 16th and 17th before the final roster is selected for the event taking place in Ottawa, Ontario from December 26th, 2024 to January 5th, 2025.

The World Juniors is an annual event for ice hockey players under the age of 20. It often attracts the world’s best players in that age group. The U.S. is the defending champion after defeating hosts Sweden last year.

Stiga is a freshman playing for Boston College. He appeared in all 13 games and collected nine points with three goals and six assists.

Six Eagles were selected for camp. This includes 2024 team members Ryan Leonard, Gabe Perreault, Aram Minnetian and Drew Fortescue, as well as fellow freshman James Havens.

Stiga was a member of the U.S. National Team Development Program for two years before enrolling at BC. At the 2024 IIHF U-18 World Championships, he played six matches and won a silver medal.

The Nashville Predators selected Stiga in the second round (No. 55 overall) of the 2024 NHL Draft.
