Four players from the Detroit Red Wings’ 2018 draft class are taking part in the World Junior Showcase at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth – centers Joe Veleno, Jonathan Berggren and Otto Kivenmaki and goaltender Jesper Eliasson.
Teams comprised of prospects from the United States, Canada, Sweden and Finland will be competing from Saturday to Aug. 3 as nations evaluate candidates for their World Junior Championship teams.
“I think it’s one of the most competitive under-20 evaluation environments outside of the World Juniors,” Red Wings assistant general manager Ryan Martin said.
