Edmonton Oilers: Yesterday it was announced that 40 of Canada’s top junior players had received invites for the juniors showcase starting at the end of July. Most of these players were drafted either last year, last month at the recent draft and a handful that will be eligible for the 2019 Draft.
Only three returning players from last year’s Gold Medal team will return while the 37 players would have to fight for the remaining spots on the team to qualify. It will be an 8-day showcase where Team Canada will have two squads going against teams like the US, Finland, and Sweden.
