Michigan's Hughes bros, other locals on USA Hockey world juniors roster

It's a family affair for USA Hockey and the World Junior Championship.

The 23-player roster for the international tournament, featuring the best in the world under 20 years old, was announced on Sunday. And it includes a local pair of brothers.

Quinn Hughes, the 19-year-old Michigan defenseman who was drafted seventh overall by the Vancouver Canucks in June, and his brother, Jack, a 17-year-old forward on the U.S. National Development Team expected to be the top pick in the 2019 NHL draft, are both on the team.
