Despite a strong development camp, Sarnia Sting forward Jacob Perreault has been left off Team Canada's roster for the Hlinka Gretzky Cup.
Hockey Canada named 22 players to the squad out of the 44 that attended the five day camp in Calgary.
Perreault led the camp with three goals in three games, including a highlight-reel goal from his knees.
Notable names on the team include Sudbury's Quinton Byfield, Jean-Luc Foudy and Will Cuylle from Windsor, and Cole Perfetti from Saginaw.
Other OHLers on the squad include Jamie Drysdale of Erie, Ryan O'Rourke of Sault St. Marie, and Donovan Sebrango of Kitchener.
Head Scout for the Program of Excellence Brad McEwen said it was a competitive camp.
"We were pleased with the level of competition at selection camp, and our staff is confident in the 22 players that have earned their spot on Team Canada for the Hlinka Gretzky Cup," said McEwen. "The skill and intensity showed by all 44 players at camp made our decisions difficult, but we know our players and staff will embrace the opportunity to wear the Maple Leaf as we look to bring home a gold medal."
The tournament is being held from August 5 to 10 in Slovakia and Czech Republic.
In 2018, the tournament was rebranded as the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and co-hosted by Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta. Canada captured gold on home ice, defeating Sweden 6-2 in the gold medal game.
Canada has won gold 22 times in 28 years of summer under-18 competition, along with two silver medals and one bronze.
