The World Junior Summer Showcase is a tournament that took place from July 28th through August 5th, giving countries a chance to evaluate a number of players in preparation for the U20 World Junior Championship that begins in December. The Rangers had three prospects participate in the tournament: Sean Day and Tim Gettinger with the USA, and Lias Andersson with Sweden.
