Four Blue Jackets prospects named to USA Hockey's National Junior Team evaluation camp roster

It's about that time of the summer when national teams start to get their junior team camps going. For USA Hockey, they'll convene in Lake Placid in early August along with Team Sweden and Team Finland for a week of training and exhibition games.

Team USA, led by former NHL head coach and 2010 U.S. men's Olympic team coach Ron Wilson, takes the ice for its first evaluation camp practice on Saturday, Aug. 1 at Lake Placid Olympic Center's Herb Brooks Arena.

The American camp roster is comprised of 39 players (22 forwards, 13 defensemen and four goaltenders), and will be split into two groups for the first three days.
