Default Canada releases WJC selection camp roster (Dube named)

http://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/Tea...ers?teamid=128

final roster expected by Dec 19. Heavy on the QMJHL players this year


didn't expect Phillips to make it as he didn't play in the summer camp or the Canada/Russia series

the state of other Flames prospects:

USA
Tkachuk - not looking like the Flames will release him
Fox - lot of people project him to be on the team and likely a pp qb for USA
Parsons - should be penciled in as starter or at least in the conversation for starter

Sweden
Kylington - would think he is a lock, but after getting snubbed last year and turning down the invite to go last summer's Swedish camp to "focus on his pro career" who knows if there is something going on behind the scenes with the Swedish hockey federation
Lindstrom - doesn't appear to be on the radar... maybe next year
Andersson - too old for this year's tournament

Finland
Tuulola - likely will get a bottom 6 role this year and possibly greater role next year (if he stays healthy knock on wood)

Russia
Karnaukhov - is on the radar for Russia. played in the Canada/Russia series. Turned down the Belarus national team last season (Belarus was relegated last year)
