Team Canada has announced their roster for the U20 World Junior Championships, and five Tampa Bay Lightning prospects have been selected. Forwards Mitchell Stephens, Anthony Cirelli, Mathieu Joseph, and Taylor Raddysh will be joined by Goaltender Connor Ingram in representing Team Canada at the WJC.
Mitchell Stephens
Mitchell Stephens is the Captain of the Saginaw Spirit of the OHL and the lone returning member of the team from the five Lightning prospects. He made the team last year despite missing much of the early part of the year with a broken foot. He was the 13th forward, and saw an increase in ice time due to injuries up front for Team Canada, despite its disappointing finish.
