National U-20 and U-17 rosters begin to take shape
Matthew Wood of Nanaimo has been through the U-17 and U-18 Team Canada levels in hockey and will likely also be on the national team for the 2024 world U-20 championship, known simply as the world juniors, in Gothenburg, Sweden, in December.
Wood, drafted 15th overall in the first round of the 2023 NHL draft by the Nashville Predators, is one of seven players named from the gold-medallist Canadian team in the 2022 Hlinka Gretzky U-18 Cup. Also named for the sessions were three returning players from the gold-medallist Canadian team at the 2023 world juniors in Halifax. This is literally select company.
Also cited for the meetings were 66 players under consideration for participation in the 2023 U-17 World Hockey Challenge this fall, including touted in-coming Western Hockey League Victoria Royals forward Cole Reschny and goaltender Koen Cleaver from Port Alberni, who plays for the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Reschny is considered the big hope to lift the recent sagging fortunes of the Royals and the six-foot-two Islander Cleaver the goaltender of the future for the Hurricanes.
“This was a great opportunity to introduce prospective national team players to the Program of Excellence and help prepare them for international competition.”
