Latendresse is a 1987 born forward and 'technically' isn't eligible for this tourney in April, unless you are talking about his brother? Arguably Guillaume could be good enough, but he won't be named, but should be a lock for the summer tourney of 87's or next April. I also believe he's injured right now and not playing in the Q playoffs for Drummondville.
Several more teams were eliminated from the OHL and Q playoffs tonight and therefore more players have become available. Look for the likes of Adam Berti, Dan LaCosta, Olivier Latendresse and Alex Bourret to be given consideration.

Guillaume Latendresse would have been a lock for the U18 team if he had not been injuried. Just two games before the playoffs began, he suffered a severe shoulder injury. He will need all summer to recover. As he likes to hit opponents, that is very bad for him. We will have to see how he will recover.

The first selections (they usually add players after the second round of playoffs if i'm not mistaken) should be made public soon.

HabLover said:Gilbert Brule and the Vancouver Giants have advanced to the 2nd round of the WHL playoffs and therefore, he will not in any way, shape or form be invited to play at this U18 tourney in Belarus.
Brule could very well be better than most players selected for Canada at this tourney, but he is a 1987 born and will get his chance this summer with the rest of the other 1987 born players(minus Crosby) at the U18 World Cup in August. Now that team, even without Crosby, could be good!
Crosbyfan said:Sid not eligible?
HabLover said:Crosby is still involved in the QMJHL playoffs and therefore can't participate.
Crosbyfan said:I'm thinking they'll be over by August.
Piggy2 said:The tournament's in April though. What's happened to Maunu's stock? Not named to the Top Prospects Game and now not to the U-18 team? I'm puzzled.
