Failing to write an in-depth day by day coverage of the World Junior Cup in India (although I hope to do some analysis at some point of those involved), it's a little late offering information on the goalkeepers involved. But kit wise one thing that stood out was Canada's goalkeepers; starter and reserve, being now both in TK kit. Although I think Kevin Pereira has switched to Brabo (going by Twitter info and such), back-up Tristan Burgoyne, has made the switch to TK soft foam, having previously been in Obo. He is also using the TK plus glove, which has greater rebound than the already 'pingy' TK lhp and which also has a curved shape for controlling rebounds down like the Obo face design (designed specifically for that), rather than straight down or up and over. Using a goalkeeper stick as well versus the trend of Canadian goalkeepers for defender's sticks as goalkeeping sticks also stands out.
You can see him in action here, in an athletic dive unfortunately missing the save in question though:
