Tri-City Americans News Release
Kennewick, WA - Tri-City Americans defenseman Brandon Carlo is one of 29 players that was invited to attend Team USA's National Junior Team Camp, as announced by USA Hockey today.
USA Hockey announced the 29 players that will attend Team USA's National Junior Team Camp today, with the camp beginning on Dec. 14 at Boston University's Walter Brown Arena.
The 29 players invited to the camp will compete for a spot on the roster, which is expected to be announced on Dec. 24. Team USA will compete in two pre-tournament exhibition games before its first World Junior Championship game on Dec. 26 against Canada in Helsinki, Finland.
If Carlo is selected to play for Team USA, he will be the third Americans player to represent Team USA in two World Junior Championships since Scott Gomez (1998, 1999).
Carlo became the fourth Americans player to play for Team USA last year, along with former Americans Bill Lindsay (1991), Brian Boucher (1996, 1997) and Scott Gomez.
At last year's WJC, Carlo recorded an assist and a +1 rating in five games. Carlo has played in 20 games this season, collecting 2 goals, 14 points and 55 penalty minutes.
"It is always a special and tremendous accomplishment to represent your country at a world championship," Tory said. "We are proud of Brandon and know he will represent our team and the WHL well."
The Americans are back at the Toyota Center on Friday, Dec. 11, against the Everett Silvertips on Fred Meyer Teddy Bear Toss Night. Tickets are on sale through all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Toyota Center box office, all Fred Meyer locations or online at ticketmaster.com.
