The 66 Canadians are set for the 2019 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Medicine Hat, Alta., and Swift Current, Sask., so let’s take a look at a few facts and figures:

1 – player who did not receive an invite to Canada’s national under-17 development camp in July (Olen Zellweger)

2 – under-age players; Matthew Savoie and Shane Wright are the second and third 15-year-olds to represent Canada at the tournament, joining Joe Veleno (2015)

3 – sons of former NHLers; the fathers of Mason McTavish (Dale), Cole Sillinger (Mike) and Chase Stillman (Cory) combined for 1,278 points (519-759—1,278) in 2,083 games with 14 different teams

4 – players drafted first overall in their respective CHL drafts (Dylan Guenther – Edmonton, WHL, 2018; Joshua Roy – Saint John, QMJHL, 2019; Matthew Savoie – Winnipeg, WHL, 2019; Shane Wright – Kingston, OHL, 2019)

4 – members of the Don Mills Flyers (Liam Arnsby, Brandt Clarke, Brennan Othmann, Shane Wright), Toronto Marlboros (Jack Beck, Ethan Del Mastro, Wyatt Johnston, Danny Zhilkin) and OHA Edmonton (Corson Ceulemans, Kyle Masters, Sean Tschigerl, Olen Zellweger) during the 2018-19 season, most of any minor hockey team
