Plymouth — Elite junior players from Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States are trying out for their national squads in the 2018 World Junior Championships at USA Hockey Arena over the next week.
They will also practice and play in front of the brass from a lot of NHL franchises beginning Saturday.
Six Red Wings prospects are participating in the annual World Junior Summer Showcase, and Hockey TV and the NHL Network will broadcast some of the games.
Many of the players are likely to remain in junior hockey or transition to NCAA play this season.
