Haydn Fleury and Roland McKeown have been invited to Hockey Canada’s camp December 10-13 leading up to the World U20 Junior Hockey Championship in Finland. Both players participated in Summer Development Camp.
It’s expected Fleury will be on the final roster that begins play against the United States on Saturday, December 26. He, along with Joe Hicketts (DET prospect), Travis Sandheim (PHI prospect) all appear to be locks for top-4 blueline spots.
McKeown is one of seven defensemen competing for four or five spots and is only one of two right-handed defenders invited to camp. 18-year-old Roah Juulson, a 2015 MTL first round pick, is the other, and Hockey Canada tends to favor taking as many 19-year-olds as possible. This gives McKeown a real good change to make the club in light of 2015 San Jose second round pick Jeremy Roy’s injury in the CHL Canada/Russia Super Series. The team is expected to travel with eight defenders on its 25-man group as it travels to Europe. Only 23 players will be eligible for game action aside from injuries.
Sebastian Aho will play for host country Finland, while Alex Nedeljkovic will be under consideration for one of USA Hockey’s three goaltending spots. Nedeljkovic was the third goalie on the roster last year but saw no game action.
