Team Canada Juniors cut four players

The dreams of playing for the Team Canada Hockey team for the 2009/2010 World Junior Championship were dashed for 4 young players today. Brent Gormley (Moncton Wildcats), Nicolas Deslauriers (Rouyn-Noranda), John McFarland (Sudbury Wolves), and Tyler Seguin (Plymouth Whalers) were all sent back to their respective Junior teams Tuesday morning.

The news isn’t too much of a surprise and three of the four (Gormley, McFarland, and Seguin) have yet to be drafted by and NHL team and figure to be in Canada’s plans next year. Seguin is a bit of a surprise as he has played very well this season in the OHL, but as mentioned could be a front runner for next years squad.

The Canada Juniors play an all-star university team in their next game before final cuts are expected.
