The team will continue its camp in Oshawa and play the last exhibition game against the Czech Republic in Kingston on 23rd December before the final roster containing 20 skaters and three goaltenders will be announced.

With four days left until the start of the World Juniors three forwards were cut from the current roster: Brock Boeser, Logan Brown and Alex DeBrincat.

“We knew coming into the camp that decisions would be difficult and that is a testament to these quality players and the talent pool available to us in the United States,” said Jim Johannson, general manager of the 2017 U.S. National Junior Team and also the assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA Hockey.

“There are still some decisions to be made, but as a staff we are pleased by the team's continued chemistry and unity that head coach Bob Motzko first started back in August.”

The current roster includes three players from last year’s bronze-winning team including defencemen Chad Krys, Charlie McAvoy and forward Colin White.
