Despite the fact that he is only 19 years old and the Anaheim Ducks drafted him last year “up” in the 2nd round from the overall 53rd place, guard Tristan Luneau has already played 7 games in the NHL and was supposed to be part of the Canadian team at the upcoming Junior World Cup in hockey.
news-item-description">The preparation for the world championship of under-20 hockey players in Sweden is in full swing, and the national teams are fine-tuning the last details right at the venue of the tournament. Friday’s preseason game between Canada and Switzerland was marred by an ugly foul on Canadian star and top draft pick Macklin Celebrini.
The Canadian Ice Hockey Association announced yesterday on social networks that the defenseman Tristan Luneau dropped out of the final nomination due to illness.
Tristan Luneau was supposed to be among the pillars of the “maple leaves” at the junior championship in Sweden. Last year in the QMJHL he collected 100 points (22+78) as a defenseman. In the current season in the AHL, he has a balance of 6 games and 2 assists, in the NHL he played 7 duels with an individual statistic of 1+2.
Canada is in the A-group at the upcoming World Cup in hockey under 20 years, in which they will meet the junior selections of Finland, Sweden, Germany and Latvia.
