In addition to the 13 Badgers, sophomore forward Quinn Finley and defenseman Zach Schulz are New York Islanders' picks who did not take part in a camp because the Islanders don't run one.

Schulz and freshman defenseman Logan Hensler will also take part in the 2024 World Junior Summer Showcase, scheduled for July 26 through Aug. 3 in Plymouth, Michigan. The Showcase is used to identify potential skaters for Team USA's representative at the IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa, Ontario. The event runs Dec. 26 through Jan. 5.

Players from from Canada, Finland and Sweden will also be in attendance.
