Yesterday, four Tampa Bay Lightning players were named to the Team Canada roster for the 2018 World Junior Hockey Championships. Watching these players at camp, we saw Canada loose two games in a row to the Canadian University All-Stars, but defeated Denmark this afternoon. Canada was either hard for scoring, or good at defending, or easily overtaking a weaker opponent.
Running the gauntlet of talent, Canada had some hard choices to make. What they didn’t think was hard was the choice to keep all four of the Lightning prospects they have:
Cal Foote, defender, Kelowna Rockets (WHL)
30GP - 6G - 24A - 30Pts
The 2017 first round pick (14th overall) is the son of Adam Foote, the long time Quebec Nordique/Colorado Avalanche player who played for Canada at the 1990 World Juniors.
