As you know, Shane Wright's name has been the talk of the town in the last few months, and now we have the opportunity to see him play for Team Canada Junior.

We all know his story. We all know that he was supposed to be drafted with the first overall pick in the 2022 NHL draft, but he eventually slipped all the way to the fourth spot.

To explain this big turnaround, many pundits have pointed to attitude issues for Wright.

A reported story from the Kraken's most recent training camp, involving Wright and head coach Dan Bylsma, did nothing to quell those rumors.

Here's a reminder of the facts:

According to a Seattle reporter, Wright did throw fits at AHL coaches like Dan Bylsma.

"It worried him. At one point, Dan Bylsma gave an instruction and Wright looked at him and wanted to say, 'What the hell!?' It's a little bit of a worry. It's primadonna! I'll give you both sides of the coin, but the guy on the podcast destroyed him (Shane Wright)!"

Anyway, after hearing all these stories, current Junior Team Canada assistant coach Stephane Julien, who is currently with Wright, wanted to correct the record:

"For reasons we all know, Shane Wright will never stop being the talk of the town in Quebec. Assistant coach of Junior Team Canada, who is currently watching him evolve under his eyes, Stéphane Julien sets the record straight..." - BPM Sports

Listen to Stephane Julien:

Shane Wright is the opposite of what has been said about him. He is on the point, in everything. He had the eyes of a true leader from day one he joined team Canada. He is an amazing teammate and leader. We all agreed that he'll be our captain without hesitation. - Stephane Julien

Interesting! Are you impressed with Wright so far with the Canadian team?
