Green Named To Canadian U-17 Team

Luke Green has been named to one of the Canadian teams that will take part in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge next month.

Green, the first overall pick in the 2014 QMJHL Entry Draft by the Saint John Sea Dogs, has been living up the hype so far this season, registering four assists and 12 shots in seven games.

Green has been named to Canada White for the tournament. The yearly event has been revamped this year and will feature three Canadian national teams rather than regional teams. Also, the tournament will take place in November rather than over New Year’s.

Also on Canada White is Rouyn-Noranda's Samuel Harvey, Val-d’Or’s Gabriel Bilodeau, Bathurst’s Jordan Maher, Rimouski’s Hunter Moreau, Blainville-Boisbriand’s Alexander Katerinakis, and Cape Breton draft choice Michael O’Leary.

The 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge takes place November 2-8 in Sarnia-Lambton, Ontario.
