CALGARY - Canada’s junior men’s hockey team runs the gamut from seasoned pros to a 16-year-old. Cole Perfetti, with over 50 professional games under his belt, and Connor Bedard, who becomes the seventh player to be named to the Canadian team at age 16, were among 25 players named Sunday to the 2022 roster. Dylan Garand, Brett Brochu and Sebastian Cossa were the only goaltenders invited to selection camp, which ensured their positions on the team. Cameron is the head coach of the Canadian team again 11 years after overseeing a squad that earned a silver medal in Buffalo. Thirty-five players were summoned to selection camp in Calgary, but Sudbury Wolves defenceman Jack Thomson’s invitation was withdrawn because of COVID-19 protocols.
