The 2019 World Junior Summer Showcase will take place on July 26-Aug. 3 in Plymouth, Michigan, at USA Hockey Arena. The week-long camp will include 11 international competitions between Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States
Basically a nice summer test for the four nations to get together and have some instruction time and competition as they sort out a summer audition about half a year before the high-pressure World Junior Championships that count for real.
Since age is a factor in this under-20 tournament, pretty much only 2018 and 2019 NHL draftees are eligible. And without many high picks involved, Pittsburgh doesn’t have a lot out there.
