USA Hockey today named 29 players to the preliminary roster of its 2021 U.S. National Junior Team.<\/p>\n

The group, which includes 10 members of the 2020 U.S. National Junior Team, will gather for a training camp at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Mich., starting Dec. 6.<\/p>\n

Players are auditioning for a spot on the final 25-player roster that will represent the United States in the 2021 World Junior Championship set for Edmonton, Alberta, from Dec. 25, 2020 to Jan. 5, 2021. The final roster will be announced on Dec. 13, prior to the team\u2019s departure from Plymouth to Edmonton that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a talented group and we\u2019ll have some tough decisions to make,\u201d said John Vanbiesbrouck, general manager of the 2021 U.S. National Junior Team and also the assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA Hockey, in a statement. \u201cWe continue to benefit from a deep player pool, and that\u2019s credit to all of the organizations and volunteers developing the next wave of American talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the 29 players named, 26 have NCAA connections.<\/p>\n
