Hockey Canada has announced its final selection camp roster in preparation for the 2013 World Jr. Hockey Championship, and Spirit goaltender Jake Paterson will be in line to represent his home country. The Detroit Red Wings prospect is one of four goaltenders in the Canadian Hockey League to receive the invitation joining fellow OHLer’s Malcolm Subban of Belleville, and Jordan Binnington of Owen Sound on the list. The Mississauga, Ontario native has recorded 10 wins on the season for the Spirit, and is currently third in saves among goaltenders in the OHL.
