Hockey Canada today announced the list of players invited to try out for the summer U-18 team which they will send to the Ivan Hlinka memorial tournament in the Czech Republic in August.
The list has 42 players on it - 4G, 14D, 24F. Of those 42, 15 are from the WHL:
D Matt Dumba (Red Deer)
D Derrick Pouliot (Portland)
D Ryan Pulock (Brandon)
D Griffin Reinhart (Edmonton)
D Morgan Rielly (Moose Jaw)
D Nick Walters (Everett)
F Troy Bourke (Prince George)
F Brendan Leipsic (Portland)
F Brandon Magee (Victoria)
F Ryan Olson (Saskatoon)
F Connor Rankin (Tri-City)
F Tyrel Seaman (Brandon)
F Hunter Shinkaruk (Medicine Hat)
F Chandler Stephenson (Regina)
F Rob Trzonkowski (Calgary)
A pretty good showing for the 'dub, I think. Just over 1/3 of the invites anyway. This camp is often one of the first steps in identifying players for the Canadian World Junior teams, so it's good news for these players to see that they are perhaps on Hockey Canada's radar for the 2013 and 2014 World Junior tournaments.
The full camp roster can be found here.
