Today, USA Hockey announced its 23-player roster for the U.S. National Junior Team that will compete in the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship. This year the WJC will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia from Dec. 26, 2018 to Jan. 5, 2019.
K’Andre Miller, the New York Rangers 22nd overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, made the team. Last year, Miller had three points in seven games at the WJC-18. Unfortunately, fellow defensive prospect Joey Keane — who the Rangers selected in the 3rd round at 88th overall — did not make the cut.
