The World Junior Summer Showcase is an oasis during the otherwise dead period of the hockey offseason. Some of the top countries put together rosters (in the USA’s case, two rosters) and play games in late July/Early August. Though the tournament doesn’t really matter insofar as winning and losing, it’s a competitive environment that serves as an important evaluation period for December’s World Junior Championship.
The Rangers have five prospects participating. They are:
- K’Andre Miller (USA White)
- Zac Jones (USA White)
- Nils Lundkvist (Sweden)
- Karl Henriksson (Sweden)
- Olof Lindbom (Sweden)
Unsurprisingly, Miller has been the best of the bunch.
