Five takeaways on first day of USA Hockey WJC camp

BOSTON -- Left wing Matthew Tkachuk said he can learn a lot from center Auston Matthews on what it takes to be successful at the World Junior Championship.

Tkachuk will get that opportunity this week during USA Hockey's national junior selection camp at Agganis Arena on the campus of Boston University. The camp runs Tuesday through Friday.

Tkachuk and Matthews, each an A-rated skater on NHL Central Scouting's November players to watch list for the 2016 NHL Draft, are not only linemates at camp, but roommates.

"I've been peppering his brain a little bit," said Tkachuk, who plays for London in the Ontario Hockey League.
