Past, present and future American Badgers are scheduled to head to Plymouth, Michigan in July
MADISON, Wis. – Led by Team USA World Junior Championship veterans Cole Caufield and Alex Turcotte, four Wisconsin Badger forwards are among the 43 invited to the 2020 World Junior Summer Showcase that is slated for July 24-Aug. 1 in Plymouth, Michigan.
This camp will help the staff evaluate candidates for the the U.S. National Junior Team that will compete in the 2021 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship set for Dec. 26, 2020, through Jan. 5, 2021, in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta.
"We're thankful to everyone involved in all the planning that has happened to date and continues to take place," said Gavin Regan, vice president of USA Hockey and chair of the organization's International Council. "As hockey returns, we look forward to hosting our camp and we'll certainly do it safely."
Joining Turcotte (Island Lake, Illinois), who signed a professional contract after last season with the Los Angeles Kings, and sophomore Cole Caufield (Stevens Point) at the camp are sophomore Owen Lindmark (Naperville, Illinois) and incoming freshman Sam Stange (Eau Claire). Lindmark attended last summer's camp, while Stange, who was among the top-five goal scorers in the USHL last season, gets his first invite.
In addition to the players, UW men's hockey equipment manager Nate LaPoint was previously announced as part of the equipment staff for the team.
