Hockey Canada has released their selection camp roster for the 2021 World Junior Hockey Championship and among the names listed is Anaheim Ducks prospect Jamie Drysdale.
NEWS: Defenseman Jamie Drysdale has been invited to @HockeyCanada's National Junior Team selection camp in Red Deer starting November 16. Read the full release in the link below.
Drysdale was selected sixth overall by the Ducks in this year’s NHL Draft. He’s spent the last two seasons with the OHL's Erie Otters, where he’s expected to return for the 2020-21 season.
Seeing Drysdale listed obviously isn’t the least bit shocking. He was part of Canada’s gold medal-winning team at last year’s tournament, where he had three points in seven games, and is pretty much a lock to be back on the team this year. Drysdale is one of six defensemen listed on the roster who's a first-round NHL draft pick and was the only Ducks prospect listed on the roster.
