It’s a real statement to tap the 19-year-old to lead the star-laden squad. O’Reilly, Tavares, Mark Scheifele, Mathew Barzal, Robert Thomas, Morgan Rielly, Darnell Nurse, Evan Bouchard, and Cam Talbot are among those representing Canada.
Celebrini is seen as the future of Canadian hockey, and this is just further confirmation of that.
