With the final cuts coming Wednesday morning, Simon Despres suited up for Team Canada in an effort to show is worth one last time.
The Saint John Sea Dogs defenseman recorded an assist in Canada’s 6-2 win over the Canadian University National Team at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto Tuesday night.
Despres helped set-up Cody Eakin’s second period goal with fellow Quebec Major Junior Hockey Leaguer Michael Bournival getting the other helper.
Assuming this year's squad goes with 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goaltenders, there are still four forwards, three blueliners and two goalies left to release. The final roster that will represent Canada at the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championships will be announced Wednesday.
Ryan Ellis, Calvin de Haan, Jared Cowen, Brayden Schenn, Ryan Johansen, Louis Leblanc, and Zach Kassian – all considered to be locks on the team - were healthy scratches. Casey Cizikas was also out with a back injury.
