Camp begins Dec. 10 in Ottawa
The forward from Nanaimo, who played in the B.C. Hockey League for the Victoria Grizzlies, is on the verge of becoming a rare two-time player for Canada at the world junior championship. Wood was among the 32 players invited Monday to the selection camp Dec. 10-13 at TD Place in Ottawa for the 2025 tournament that begins Boxing Day at Canadian Tire Centre in the nation’s capital.
“We were pretty upset last year and didn’t do as well as we wanted,” said Wood, from Minneapolis, where he plays for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers of the NCAA Big Ten.“It’s a big holiday event for Canadians. I think even non-hockey people in Canada heard about it last year . So, yes, you can call it unfinished business.”“It’s special and a real opportunity to play in the world juniors in Canada,” said Wood.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity and excited for the camp,” said the six-foot-four power-forward.The Islander is among seven returning Canadian players from 2024, including Oliver Bonk, Easton Cowan, Tanner Molendyk, Scott Ratzlaff, Carson Rehkopf and Brayden Yager.
