AMHERST, N.Y. — At the beginning of the Boys Select 17 camp, there were nearly 150 skaters who were hoping to earn a spot at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup camp, and now there are only 39. This group is comprised of the best players born in 2005 from around the country.
Minnesotans Javon Moore of Minnetonka and Finn Brink of Maple Grove are two players at camp who are hoping to see their names on the final roster.
The week moves quick, and head coach of the Selects 17 team Anthony Noreen discusses what he and his staff are looking for in a player for their roster and how the process works.
The final roster for the Hlinka Gretzky Cup will be announced on June 29. The tournament will take place July 31 through Aug. 6 in Red Deer, Alberta.
