Despite a dream recruit season, punctuated by a Calder trophy, Lane Hutson is ignored by the United States. Its name is excluded from the list of 44 participants in the orientation camp of the American training for the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games.
The United States preferred several other young defenders in Hutson, including Jackson Lacombe, Alex Vlasic and Luke Hughes. Seth Jones, Ryan McDonagh, Brett Pesce, Neal Pionk and Brady Skjei also received their pass.
All the rear have been part of the American team to the confrontation of four nations were also invited.
Recall that the director general Bill Guerin will have the leisure to select players who have been dismissed from this orientation camp for his final alignment of the Olympic Games.
Another chance
Cole Caufield will have the chance to do his marks. The small winger is one of the 30 attackers invited by the United States. He had not been selected for the confrontation of the 4 nations. At the camp, he will find two former teammates of the United States Development Program, Jack Hughes and Matt Boldy.
Among the surprise guests at the camp, there are Shane Pinto (Ottawa), Frank Nazar (Chicago), Matthew Knies (Toronto) and Conor Garland (Vancouver).
Mike Sullivan’s attack can count on big names, including Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Brady Tkachuk and Kyle Connor. Matthew Tkachuk has already been selected by the team, but will not be part of the injured orientation camp.
Four goalkeepers were invited by the Americans: Joey Daccord, Jeremy Swayman, Connor Hellebuyck and Jake Oettinger.
The United States orientation camp will be held on August 26 and 27 in Plymouth, Michigan.
Canada had unveiled the guests of its orientation camp almost 20 days ago. Samuel Montembeault, Nick Suzuki and Noah Dobson of the Canadian will be part of it.
