After passing on Clarke multiple times, Team Canada finally got it right. Canada will host its selection camp this Friday and make its roster decisions by Monday, December 12th. If Clarke impresses, then he will compete on the national stage.

Team Canada’s selection camp roster is a loaded one that includes projected first-overall pick phenom Connor Bedard, and possibly the second-overall pick Adam Fantilli.

Here’s to hoping Brandt Clarke balls out and makes the team!
