USA Hockey’s final roster for the 2018 World Junior Championship was announced by the organization Saturday morning. It left just one New England native on the 2018 U.S. National Junior Team.
The final cuts included Harvard freshman forward Jack Badini (Old Greenwich, Conn.) and Yale freshman defenseman Phil Kemp (Greenwich, Conn.).
That leaves Boston University sophomore forward Patrick Harper (New Canaan, Conn.) as the only New England native to make the final roster for the U.S. National Junior Team that will compete n Buffalo, N.Y.
There will still be plenty of reason for local hockey fans to follow the tournament. Three Boston Bruins prospects made the team: Wisconsin sophomore center Trent Frederic, Minnesota sophomore defenseman Ryan Lindgren and Maine freshman goaltender Jeremy Swayman.
In addition, Boston College goaltender Joseph Woll, Boston University goaltender Jake Oettinger, Boston University forward Brady Tkachuk and Harvard defenseman Adam Fox also made the team.
