Forty-six player camp set for Red Deer, Alberta
MADISON, Wis. – With the 2021 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Junior Championship scheduled to begin on Dec. 25, Hockey Canada announced Thursday that Wisconsin sophomore forward Dylan Holloway is on the 46-player roster for its National Junior Team Sport Check Selection Camp.
With most Canadian junior teams currently out of action, Hockey Canada will run an extended camp from Nov. 16-Dec. 13 in Red Deer, Alberta.
Holloway, who was a candidate for last year's Canadian National Junior Team, was recently chosen in the first round of the NHL draft by the Edmonton Oilers with the 14th overall pick.
The forward posted eight goals and 17 points in 35 games his freshman year at Wisconsin. That included five goals and nine points over the last 10 games of the season.
The Bragg Creek, Alberta, native is one of four current NCAA skaters invited along with Boston College sophomore forward Alex Newhook, Michigan freshman defenseman Owen Power and Northeastern freshman goaltender Devon Levi.
The players invited to the camp, including five goaltenders, 15 defensemen and 26 forwards, will compete for a chance to represent Canada at the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship, Dec. 25-Jan. 5 in Edmonton, Alberta.
The selection camp will include practices and three intrasquad games, as well as six games against a team of U SPORTS all-stars, between Nov. 28 and Dec. 13 before the team enters the bubble in Edmonton in preparation for the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship. The camp will take place in a cohort bubble and will be closed to the public and media.
The 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship begins on Christmas Day with three games before Canada kicks off its tournament schedule on Dec. 26 against Germany at 5 p.m. CT.
