Great Britain Under-20s head coach Slava Koulikov has named his squad for next month’s U20 World Championship in Dumfries.
The six-team IIHF Division 2 Group A tournament runs from Sunday 10th to Saturday 16th December 2017 at the Dumfries Ice Bowl.
GB will come up against Estonia, Japan, Korea, Netherlands and Romania as they look to secure promotion back to Division 1 of the World Championship structure.
Koulikov said: “The coaching staff had to make some tough decisions to name this squad.
“It proves that we have great depth and some great prospects in the GB programme.
“I am very happy with my squad but some quality players have not made the final roster.
“I think we have a well-balanced squad and competition for places was really fierce.
“We will now undergo our final preparations for next month’s tournament.
“Everyone is looking forward to the World Championship and it will be even more special with it being on home ice.”
GB begin the tournament on Sunday 10th December against Romania, followed by a game on Monday 11th December versus Estonia.
Britain play Netherlands on Wednesday 13th December, while on Thursday 14th December they go head-to-head with Korea.
GB round off the competition by facing Japan on Saturday 16th December. All GB games face-off at 8pm.
