CALGARY -- Lawson Crouse was looking for any opportunity to play for Canada at the 2015 World Junior Championship.
As one of two players in Canada's camp eligible for the 2015 NHL Draft, Crouse, 17 at the time, had one mission: bull his way on to the final roster.
"Going in, I was just there to do whatever I could to make that team," Crouse told NHL.com. "I was there with the attitude that I was going to stick and if not, make it hard for the coaches to send me home. I guess I just went in with a positive attitude and tried to get better each and every day.
