New York Ranger draft pick named to preliminary roster for Team USA

New York Ranger’s fifth-round draft pick Brett Berard was one of 29 players invited by USA Hockey to its 2021 U.S. National Junior Team Training Camp that will begin on Dec. 6 in Plymouth, Michigan.

Berard will begin his freshman season with the Providence Friars in 2020-21. He recently spent two seasons in the U.S. National Team Development Program while recording 16 goals and 18 assists with the U18s in 2019-20. He was selected by the Rangers in the fifth round (134th overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft back in October.

Berard has been described as a small, but scrappy player.
