This week countries are announcing their preliminary rosters.

Confirmed to be attending camp: (teams have officially announced preliminary rosters)

Canada - Dube

Dube projected to make the team as a returning player and leader.
Kelowna Rockets - 25gp 16g 20a 36pts

Phillips in some stiff competition for a RW spot. Good article by McKenzie on the battles for spots in the Canadian camp
Victoria Royals - 31gp 21g 26a 47pts
update; Phillips was not invited to the selection camp

Finland - Valimaki and Tuulola
Camp roster: http://front1.leijonat.fi/maajoukkue...-pelaajat.html

Valimaki was already named captain of the team during the summer camps so put his name down in ink on the final roster. He is currently in Calgary rehabbing a minor injury (expected to be cleared this week).
Tri-City Americans - 16gp 5g 12a 17pts

Tuulola needs to survive 3 forward cuts and is playing against men in the Finnish league.

Harvard University 10gp 0g 9a 9pts

Sweden - Lindstrom

Lindstrom has attended the summer camp and the U 20 4 nations cup for Sweden. Playing against men in Sweden's top league. Lindstrom needs to survive 2 forward cuts.
Skelleftea AIK (SHL) - 24gp 2g 1a 3pts

Slovakia - Ruzicka

Others
The only other Flames prospects eligible are Joly, Sveningsson, and Mattson and there hasn't been much buzz about them and the WJC. Joly and Sveningsson are still eligible for next year's tournament. This is Mattson's final year of eligibility.

All other Flames property are too old for this tournament.
