Ten players from New England will compete at the 2020 World Junior Summer Showcase for a spot on USA Hockey’s roster at the 2021 World Junior Championship.
The World Junior Summer Showcase takes place July 24 through Aug. 1 at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Mich. The event usually welcomes hopefuls from Canada, Finland and Sweden, but due to the Coronavirus, only the U.S. will be represented.
