There will be no shortage of under-17 alumni when Canada’s top junior-aged players hit the ice on December 12 for the start of the National Junior Team selection camp in Toronto.

Of the 39 players named to camp, 30 wore the red and white of Team Canada at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, including all four goaltenders and 11 of the 12 defencemen. Included on the list are 15 players from the 2008 tournament in London, Ont., 13 from the 2009 event in Port Alberni, B.C. and three that saw action just last year in Timmins, Ont.

One player, defenceman Brandon Gormley, took part in a pair of U17 tournaments, playing for Atlantic in 20.
