Team Canada has made their final cuts ahead of the 2020 World Juniors.
Although Kelowna captain Nolan Foote was expected a top-nine spot, the official line-up was not selected until the final cut was made Saturday morning, solidifying Foote’s spot.
Foote will represent the country when the tournament starts on Dec. 26 along side 22 of the best junior players from Canada including fellow WHLers Bowen Byram (Vancouver Giants), Ty Smith (Spokane Chiefs).
