Regina Pats captain Logan Pyett has made the final roster of the national junior hockey team. That means the Pats will be without the services of their leader, and top defenceman, for at least eight more games.
Good for Logan, though. His game has really, really improved in the past year. And his maturity level has risen dramatically as well.
Among the notable cuts are Quebec Remparts forward Angelo Esposito (who failed to make the squad for the 3rd year in a row), Everett goaltender Leland Irving, Moose Jaw blueliner Keaton Ellerby and Calgary forward Ryan White.
Team Canada opens the World Junior tournament December 26th in the Czech Republic.
Update: Pyett has been named one of the alternate captains for Team Canada. Calgary defenceman Karl Alzner will wear the C for Canada.
