How did they not pick Lawrence? He’s one of the best players.
It must be due to him playing the in USHL. He was at the summer camp, and he's good enough to make the team. Maybe his team would prefer to not release him, and he is deferring to his team? I'm not sure.

EDIT: He's on the team, the CHL source I originally looked at was omitting the USHL selections.

30 Ahmajärvi Oskari, Kiekko-Espoo

Defenders:
2 Laatikainen Max, Kiekko-Espoo
3 Alalauri Samu, Pelicans Lahti
4 Parkkali Jonne, Jokerit Helsinki
5 Saarimäki Maxim, Ässät Pori
6 Piiparinen Juho, Tappara Tampere
7 Väistö Santeri, HIFK Helsinki
8 Suominen Julius, Lukko Rauma
9 Uronen Eelis, HIFK Helsinki

Forwards:
10 Uronen Anttoni, HIFK Helsinki
11 Kallio Wilmer, TPS Turku
12 Karassaari Janne, Kärpät Oulu
13 Suvanto Oliver, Tappara Tampere
14 Kähkönen Viljo, HIFK Helsinki
15 Rinne Rasmus, Ilves Tampere
16 Vatjus Miko, Lukko Rauma
17 Laitinen Jiko, Ilves Tampere
18 Torkki Oliver, Kiekko-Espoo
19 Vanhatalo Vilho, Tappara Tampere
20 Arkko Luka, Pelicans Lahti
21 Wahlroos Olli, TPS Turku


Not much changed in this age group I believe Santeri Väistö only newcomer. For example Oscar Hemming not done enough to get national team invite. Goalies are good Lammi should be starter.
Defence should be lead by Piiparinen, Alalauri and Suominen. Järvenpää and Kasurinen notable cuts. Nice to see Vanhatalo has finally claimed spot on A team offence. HIFK U18 team forwards Nuutinen, Juntunen and Kossila among notable forward cuts.

Weird regarding Hemming? Another Espoo talent Vuori not selected either. Järventie injured? Karjalahti because of age or not good enough? Santala?
Isn't Aapo Kurri a noticeable cut- or should I say non selection as well?

Well I would have chosen Hemming myself. Vuori has played in past I don't think his good enough for this team theres already 5 better centers. Max Järventie? you mean? also not that good.

Karjalahti and Santala were just named into Pohjola Camp. And personally don't think Aapo Kurri is that great theres also Vilmeri Väänänen, Lauri Rantanen, Niklas Kaarto missing from defence and Matias Myllyniemi, Aaro Keinänen from forwards for couple examples

Yeah Keinänen is a noticeable cut. Hemmings cut is on another level though as you've mentioned.
 
Yeah Keinänen is a noticeable cut. Hemmings cut is on another level though as you've mentioned.
Also his linemate Onni Kovalainen has done well I quess they cut both. Oscar missed out on Pohjola camp and entire U16NT season with injury and has been rolling just couple weeks now. Im sure they will test him at some point.

Also Frolo missing I think, but he was injured and only played 2 games, so maybe thats why. Nice to see Byrtus, Kachlir and Katolicky of course. Others I dont know that well so far tbh, so we will see
 
Shouldn't Dravecky and Novak also be eligible for U17? Kinda weird they are not there.
Novak! That's the one that is missing for me. Wasn't he the guy at the Youth Olympic Games?

Thank you, I knew someone was missing. And Frolo seems to be in some kind of fight with our federation.lol He can join Svozil and Badinka.lol

Had to check.. Dravecky is 16. He was good enough for Hlinka but not the U17????

So yeah, some weird omissions for sure. Still like the team. I don't follow this group that much so maybe I'm just 'stat watching'.
