Four QMJHL players to represent Team Canada
Four Quebec Major Junior Hockey Players will represent Team Canada at the 2012 World Junior Championship in Calgary, Alta. starting on Boxing Day.
Moncton Wildcats defenseman Brandon Gormley, Saint John Sea Dogs defenseman Nathan Beaulieu and forward Jonathan Huberdeau, and Shawinigan Cataractes forward Michael Bournival were named to Team Canada this afternoon.
Gormley, a 13th overall pick by the Phoenix Coyotes in 2010, is the captain of the Wildcats in his fourth QMJHL season. So far this season, the 19-year-old Murray River, P.E.I. native has 10 goals and 27 points in 18 games.
Beaulieu, also in his fourth QMJHL season, is coming off a terrific year after winning the Memorial Cup with the Sea Dogs and getting drafted 17th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in this past summer's draft. In 30 games this season, the Strathroy, Ont. native has eight goals and 26 points.
Joining Beaulieu is fellow teammate Jonathan Huberdeau. Huberdeau is coming off a Memorial Cup championship in which he finished the tournament with three goals and six points in four games. The Sea Dogs captain went third-overall with the Florida Panthers in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and has scored 10 goals and 28 points in 13 games. Huberdeau had 43 goals and 105 points in 67 games last season. He has been out of action for several weeks with an injury and hopes to be back in time for the tournament.
Bournival is in his fourth season with the Cataractes and is the team captain. He was a third-round pick by Colorado in 2010 but is now in the Montreal Canadiens' system. In 16 games this season, Bournival has posted 15 goals and 24 points.
Quebec Remparts goaltender Louis Domingue was cut earlier today and Victoriaville Tigres forward Phillip Danault was a late cut.
Danault said he respects the team's decision in an interview with TSN.
"If they win the gold medal, I'll respect it more for sure."
Danault scored two goals for Team Canada in a 7-4 win over the CIS All-Stars.
Zack Phillips, Saint John, and Jerome Gauthier-Leduc, Rimouski, were part of the first round of cuts on made Tuesday.
