Addison invited to World Junior selection camp, Poulin snubbed

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Hockey Canada released its roster for its World Junior Championship selection camp on Monday. Penguins defense prospect Calen Addison is among the players invited, but 2019 first-round pick Samuel Poulin is not.

Addison was pretty much a lock to be invited this year after attending selection camp last year and nearly making the team. He's in his final year of eligibility, and Canada tends to go with a lot of the more experienced U20 players.

Poulin's absence from the camp is a little surprising. He's only 18 and Canada is deep at wing, but with the season he's having he could have at least gotten an invite to the camp.
