Team Canada made seven cuts from its 42 player WJC tryout roster this morning, and those sevens cuts spelled bad news for five WHLers.
Gone from the camp are forwards Michael Ferland (Brandon), Mark NcNeill (Prince Albert) and Max Reinhart (Kootenay), plus defencemen Matt Dumba (Red Deer) and Brendan Kichton (Spokane). There are still 11 WHLers among the 35 players remaining in camp.
The final 13 cuts are expected to be made tomorrow morning following an exhibition game tonight against a team of players from the University of Calgary and University of Lethbridge. Lot of ex-WHLers on those two university teams as well, BTW.
With Dumba's departure, Canada will now be made up only of 18 & 19 year old players. Dumba was the only 17 year old in the camp.
