Tournament takes place in Slovakia and Czechia
Forward Ollie Josephson of Victoria was first selected to step into a Canada jersey at the U-17 level but injuries prevented that. The Islander will get to make up for the lost time in Canada colours at the 2023 U-18 Hlinka Gretzky Cup from July 31 to Aug. 5 in Trencin, Slovakia and Breclav, Czechia.
“I’m not concerned about my role. The main goal is to win gold,” added the graduate of the Spectrum Secondary hockey academy, South Island Royals and the Langford-based Pacific Coast Hockey Academy Sea Devils program. Josephson was the fifth overall selection in the first round of the 2021 Western Hockey League prospects draft and completed his rookie season with the Red Deer Rebels with five goals and 19 points in 63 regular-season games and two goals in 12 playoff games.
“My dad told me to work as hard as I can and to make the most of my junior days, and not take them for granted, because they go by so fast,” said the younger Josephson.
