Windsor Spitfires goaltender Mike DiPietro is heading to Europe to play with Canada's men's under-18 team at the 2016 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup.

DiPietro was selected as part of a goaltending tandem alongside Prince Albert Raiders netminder Ian Scott of the WHL.

“The Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup is a unique event for us because it’s one of the few opportunities we have to assemble the very best players in the country; the August timing doesn’t conflict with other league priorities, so it really sets up to be a best-on-best event and a great display of on-ice skill and talent,” says Ryan Jankowski, Hockey Canada’s director of player personnel, in a news release.

The tournament runs from August 8 - 13 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
