USA Hockey released its roster for the
2016 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament last week.
Among the 21 players named to the team
was Sea Dogs prospect Ben Mirageas, a 6’1” defenseman from Massachusetts.
The 17-year-old was a ninth-round pick
of the Sea Dogs in the 2015 QMJHL Entry Draft. He recorded six goals and 16
assists in 24 games with the Avon Old Farms School this past season. He also
appeared in 12 games with the Neponset Valley River Rats U-18 team where he put
up one goal and six helpers. As well, in four games with the USHL’s Bloomington
Thunder, the d-man was held pointless in four matches.
The Thunder drafted Mirageas in the
second-round of the 2015 USHL draft. According to Elite Prospects, he is
committed to Providence College for the 2018-19 season.
The annual under-18 tournament takes
place in early August in Breclav, Czech Republic and Bratislava, Slovakia.
Last month, Sea Dogs forward Joe Veleno
and prospect Shane Bowers received invites to Canada’s under-18 camp.

Gould was a sixth-round pick in this
year’s draft by the Sea Dogs. The 16-year-old forward - who's hometown is listed as Weymouth, MA, which is the same town that produced Charlie Coyle - is committed to
Providence for the 2019-20 season.
