This year, 110 players have been drafted or listed by CHL teams, including 45 from the Ontario Hockey League, 38 from the Western Hockey League and 27 from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Following the development camp, players will continue to be evaluated through the early season before 66 are selected to represent Canada on one of three national teams – Team Canada Black, Team Canada Red, and Team Canada White – at the 2016 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which is scheduled for Oct. 30-Nov. 5 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
