Great Britain have named their team for next month’s under-20s Watersley International Ice Hockey Tournament at the Glanerbrook Ice Rink in the Netherlands.
GB will face Belgium U20s, German DNL side Kölner Haie U20s and Netherlands U20s from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th August.
Head Coach, Martin Grubb, said: “We are delighted to be able to take this squad to the Netherlands as part of our preparations for the World Championship.
“We have named a mixture of youth and experience based on player availability and I think this is a good group.
“The trip will allow us to see a number of players who have never been away with GB and that is important to see how they adapt to a tournament environment.
“This is a good start to our preparations and then we have the two games against Solway to look at more players before we have to name our final team.
“I’d like to thank Ice Hockey UK for allowing us this opportunity to develop not only this group but the GB programme.”
