Barrie, ON- Hockey Canada today announced from Calgary, Alberta that Barrie Colts centre Bryan Little has earned a roster spot with Team Canada's Under-20 World Junior Hockey Team.
Final cuts were announced this morning after the conclusion of the Selection Camp in Calgary. A total of 22 players (13 forwards, 7 defenseman, 2 goaltenders) were named to this year's team that will compete in the 2007 Tournament to be held from December 26 to January 5 in Leksand, Sweden.
Little, 19, becomes the first Colts player to earn a roster spot since goaltender Bryan Finley participated in the 2000 tournament.
