December 5, 2023 | Men's Ice Hockey
CALGARY, Alta. - Freshman Macklin Celebrini of the Boston University men's ice hockey team has been invited to Canada's National Junior Team selection camp, Hockey Canada announced on Tuesday.
Celebrini will travel to Oakville, Ontario, for a camp to be held on Dec. 10-13. He is one of 30 players competing to represent Canada at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship that will take place Dec. 26, 2023 – Jan. 5, 2024, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
This will be Celebrini's first World Junior camp, but he does have international experience. He scored two goals, including the overtime-winner, to clinch bronze for Canada at the 2023 IIHF World Under-18 Championship en route to matching Canada's single-tournament scoring record with 15 points (6g, 9a) as a 16-year-old. Celebrini is the youngest player at this year's camp.
A native of Vancouver, B.C., Celebrini has been one of the best players in college hockey at just 17 years old. He leads Hockey East and is third in the NCAA with 25 points on 10 goals and 15 assists. No freshman in the nation has scored more goals or recorded more points than Celebrini, who also ranks third among all rookies in assists. The Hockey East Player of the Month and National Rookie of the Month for October, Celebrini began his collegiate career by notching a point in 10 of his first 11 games, including an eight-game point streak. Celebrini has posted nine multi-point efforts, including four assists on Nov. 11 against UMass Lowell. He has also won 52% of his faceoffs and ranks fifth among all NCAA rookies with 131 faceoff victories.
