Sarnia Sting defenceman Eric Hjorth is among 22 invitees to Sweden's World Junior Summer Development Camp August 24 to the 29th in Uppsala.

The 19-year-old had 29 points including 12 goals in 60 games last season.

The 6 foot 3 inch, 192 pound right shot defenceman was the Sting's 17th pick overall in the 2019 CHL Import Draft and is a fourth round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Sweden captured bronze this past January in Ostrava, Czech Republic and last won gold in 2012. The Sting's Ludvig Rensfeldt was a member of that championship team.
