Yesterday, Hockey Canada officially announced the 46 prospects invited to their National Junior Team Sport Chek Summer Development Camp. Traditionally, if a player wants to appear on the prestigious World Junior Championship team, this camp is the first step. Likewise, USA Hockey announced the roster for the 2011 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp. Just like the neighbors to the north, this camp is the first step for any prospects who hope to make the WJC team in Alberta in December.
With the season completed and the Stanley Cup awarded, many fans have already directed their attention to the future. Here are the American and Canadian rosters that were recently announced; both will be littered with current NHL prospects as well as kids who will have their names called at the Draft next weekend.
