Horrible news to start the day for the supposed 'end of the world' as Charles Hudon has been injured in Finland and will be out for the entire World Juniors tournament for Canada.
Here's Hockey Canada's tweet about it:
Charles Hudon will not be able to play in #2013WJC due to an injury; Mark McNeill gets call and will join team in Finland on Dec. 22

This is a huge kick in the pants for both Hudon and Habs fans who were looking forward to seeing him play, but also for Canada. Hudon registered an assist yesterday in the preliminary loss to Finland, and looked good whenever he was on the ice.
The silver lining is that Hudon will still be eligible to play in the tournament next year.
