Flyers prospects Cam York, Bobby Brink invited to United States’ World Junior selection camp
York and Brink are trying to land spots on the United States' World Junior team. Both were invited to the team's selection camp Monday.
The Flyers’ first two picks in the 2019 draft — defenseman Cam York and right winger Bobby Brink — were among 29 players chosen Monday to attend the United States’ World Junior selection camp, which will be held Dec. 6-13 in Plymouth, Mich.
When the team is selected — four players need to be trimmed from the roster — it will compete in the IIHF World Junior Championship, scheduled to be played at Rogers Place in Edmonton from Dec. 25 to Jan. 5 in a “bubble” without fans.
York, a California native, was selected by the Flyers in the first round (No. 14 overall) in 2019. As a freshman at Michigan, he had 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) and a plus-9 rating in 30 games last season. This year, the 5-foot-11, 175-pound defenseman has four points through the Wolverines’ first six games.
The diminutive Brink, a 5-foot-8, 165-pounder who grew up in Minnesota, had an excellent freshman season at the University of Denver, collecting 11 goals and 24 points in 28 games in 2019-20. The Flyers took him in the second round (34th overall) in 2019.
