Connor McMichael officially makes Team Canada’s World Junior Championship roster, calls it ‘a dream come true’

Washington Capitals 2019 first-round pick Connor McMichael officially realized a dream on Saturday. After Halifax’s Benoit-Olivier Groulx was released, McMichael officially made Team Canada’s 2020 World Junior Championship roster.

The nod comes after McMichael had a spectacular opening to the season. The center scored three hat tricks and tallied 59 points in his first 27 games (2.19 ppg). McMichael has led the OHL in scoring for large swaths of time and still sits second despite participating in Team Canada’s WJC selection camp and playing six fewer games than first place Arthur Kaliyev, who plays on the Hamilton Bulldogs.

“Every Boxing Day, you tune in with your family and watch Team Canada go to work, so it’s a dream come true,” McMichael said to DurhamRegion.com’s Brian McNair. “I don’t really care where I play, it’s just a dream even making the world junior team, so I’m excited.”
