Last year at the Young Stars tournament was a tough go for the Canucks. They had some veteran leadership, but not a ton of experience in net. This year 2 of the netminders are back between the pipes (Demko and Garteig), with newly drafted Michael Dipietro getting his first chance to shine in this tournament.
On defense the team returns Olli Juolevi, Guillaume Brisebois, Cole Candella, and Mackenze Stewart. This should provide the team with some reliable options for the coaching staff to work with in the 3 game round robin.
The forwards are a blend of returnees and new blood.
