It was announced today that future Minutemen and current teammates with the Brooks Bandits Shane Bear and Cale Makar will represent Team Canada West in the World Junior A Challenge that takes place next week. The WJAC brings together some of the top Junior A players from the globe to compete in Cobourg, Ontario. Russia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, the United States, and two teams from Canada participate in the tournament. Current Minutemen Kurt Keats and Carmine Buono played for Canada West last year. Callum Fryer played for Canada-East last year and was named to the all tournament team. Another former Bandit, Maddison Smiley, played in the WJAC for Canada West as well before coming to Amherst.

Support FTT
Fear The Triangle will always be free. But there is some investment associated with providing first-hand coverage of UMass hockey. Specifically, domain hosting, travel, game streams, and ticket costs all add up. Not to mention the hours spent every day reading and writing about UMass hockey. I'll continue to do this for the foreseeable future even if it runs me into financial ruin (it won't, I think) and my wife divorces me (hopefully just as unlikely). But if you enjoy what you read here and want to show your support, here is a link to contribute to FTT via PayPal.
As always, thanks for reading!
