Hockey Canada announced a 27-player training camp roster on Monday for the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship in Minnesota, headlined by projected top draft pick Gavin McKenna. The group includes six returnees from last year's fifth-place team and emphasizes team play and discipline after recent early exits. General manager Allan Millar stressed building a cohesive unit focused on skill, speed and compete level.
A recent altercation involving Penn State forward Gavin McKenna has cast further doubt on his status as the top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. The Chicago Blackhawks, who hold a potential lottery position, were already not interested in selecting him. Multiple reports indicate the team is even less likely to choose McKenna following the incident.
