Windsor Spitfires rookie defenceman Connor Corcoran will represent Canada at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge later this month.
The 16-year-old, taken 21st overall by the Spitfires in this year's OHL draft, will be one of 66 players which make up three Canadian teams at the tournament.
"He's a mature kid with a great skill set and a bright future," says Windsor GM Warren Rychel. "This will be great experience for him."
The tournament runs from October 27 to November 5 at the Essar Centre in Sault Ste. Marie.
Update on October 18, 2016: Spitfires Head Coach Rocky Thompson will coach Team Canada Red. Corcoran will be featured on Team Canada Black.
