Jordan Harris

Jordan Harris was apart of the United States 2020 World Junior Championship team, a team loaded with NHL talent, including fellow Montreal Canadien Cole Caufield. Unfortunately, the Americans didn’t last very long in the tournament, losing to Finland in the quarterfinals. Harris played well though, and he picked up his lone point of the tournament on a sweet wrister from the blueline.

Well the tournament didn’t exactly go as planned for Harris and the Americans, representing your country is no small task. For Harris to be able to roam the blueline and contribute is important, just as it will be for Lane Hutson, when he does the same at this year’s tournament. It should be a lot of fun to get to watch the 2022 second rounder be a difference maker for Team USA.

As for Jordan Harris, he’s continued to develop into a very serviceable defenseman for the Canadiens. After finishing his career with Northeastern, he joined the Habs where he has put up 11 points in 39 career games. Harris, as he did at the World Juniors, plays a quiet but effective game, using his skating and puck moving ability to help create offense for his team.

He’s only 22 years-old but he’s got a very bright future in the league. That was evident at the World Juniors, and it is still true today. There’s no doubt Harris remembers his time at the World Juniors, as it’s an honour to be able to represent your country.
