Today USA Hockey announced that Joseph Woll, Toronto’s third-round draft pick in 2016, has been named to the preliminary roster for the 2018 World Junior Championships which begins this month in Buffalo, NY. The opening game is December 26, and Team USA plays Team Canada in an outdoor game on December 29.
Last year, Woll was one of three goalies on the USA roster, and he saw action in two games and had the role of backup to the starter, Tyler Parsons. Parsons was in net when team USA won the gold medal over Canada in Toronto.
