Portland Winterhawks players Joe Morrow, Ty Rattie and Brad Ross have been invited to participate in Canada's National Junior Team Sport Chek Selection Camp from Dec. 10 - 14 in Calgary, Alberta in preparation for the 2012 World Junior Championship.
Forty-one players were invited to the camp in advance of the World Junior Championship, which runs from December 26 - January 5 in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.
"Joe, Ty and Brad have had exceptional seasons thus far, and all three played very well at the Subway Super Series earlier this month in front of Team Canada's coaches and executives," said Portland Winterhawks General Manager & Head Coach Mike Johnston. "The competition to win spots on Canada's World Junior team is intense, but I'm confident all three will make positive impressions at the selection camp."
