LETHBRIDGE, AB – 15 Western Hockey League players have been invited to participate at Canada’s National Junior Team Selection Camp, scheduled for December 9-12 in Calgary.

Lethbridge’s Ridley Greig made the list with other players like phenom Connor Bedard.

Of the 15 WHL players invited, two (Garand, Guhle) are returnees from the Team Canada squad that won a silver medal at the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship in Edmonton.

As only three goaltenders have been invited to the Selection Camp, both Garand and Sebastian Cossa have been named to the final roster for the 2022 World Juniors.

The WHL players attending the camp include:
