The Saint John Sea Dogs forward was one of the 66 players named to Canada's roster for the annual event. The players will be divided into three teams - Canada Red, Canada White and Canada Black - closer to the tournament's start.
This year's tournament will be held Oct. 30 to Nov. 5 in Sault Ste. Marie.
At least year's tournament with Canada Black, Veleno recorded a goal and three assists in five games.
While his offensive numbers have been overshadowed by Matthew Highmore and Mathieu Joseph, Veleno is off to a strong start, recording a goal and six assists in eight games.
Veleno was injured early in last night's 3-2 Sea Dogs overtime loss in Boisbriand. According to Armada radio analyst Raphael Doucet, the injury is lower body.
Meanwhile, RDS' Stephane Leroux reports that Veleno's status for this weekend's games in Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d'Or is uncertain.Croisé après @SJSeaDogs @ArmadaBLB hier, Joe Veleno m’a dit s’être blessé à sa deuxième présence.
