Air Canada Sketchily Loses World Juniors Players Equipment and Belongings
Because he represents some of the league's finest players as well as its top prospects and potential superstars, Allan Walsh is a more well-known NHL agent.
Both Halifax, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick are hosting the World Juniors this year. Many players�if not all�must arrange their own transportation to the tournament in order to link up with their squad before the competition starts.
One prospect, David Jiricek, the Columbus Blue Jackets' sixth-round choice in the 2022 NHL draft, is dealing with major problems. Did you assume that Jiricek's equipment had already totally vanished from the airport? His sticks, equipment, whole wardrobe, and everything else he brought are also missing, for no apparent reason.
Jiricek's squad is scheduled to begin the competition tonight at 6:30 PM, but he is without equipment.

His captain, Allan Walsh, claimed he spent several hours on the phone with Air Canada trying to track down the gear and possessions of his players, but without success. Jiricek needs bespoke equipment since he is 6 feet 3 inches tall; he cannot simply walk into any hockey store and get new gear.
After Jiricik's agent openly criticized Air Canada on social media, things quickly changed; bizarrely, just hours later, he got a call back saying they have his equipment.
I want to thank @AirCanada for going above and beyond in locating the missing bags and gear and delivering to Halifax. My sympathies to those impacted by the storm and wishing everyone a peaceful, healthy and safe New Year.
