Kerby Rychel has been named to Team Canada's entry at the IIHF Under-18 World Championships.

It's the second straight year Rychel will play in a major international tournament. Last January, he led Team Ontario to a Gold Medal at the 2011 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Winnipeg.

This time around, he heads a list of 10 OHL players that will represent Canada on the world stage.

"It's a huge honour to be named to play in this tournament," Rychel told windsorspitfires.com. "I'm excited to play and to represent Canada."

Rychel, 17, enjoyed a banner season with the Spitfires in 2011-2012, scoring 41 goals and leading the team in points with 74.

The tournament will be held April 12th to 22nd in Brno and Znojmo, Czech Republic.

Congratulations to Kerby, and best of luck to him and the rest of Team Canada in the tournament.
