By @MichaelCaples –

Two Red Wings prospects will be in Plymouth this July.

Hockey Canada has released its World Junior development camp roster, with Dennis Cholowski and Givani Smith both making the list.

Cholowski was the Wings’ first-round pick in last summer’s NHL Draft; Smith was one of two second-round picks (the other being Filip Hronek).

The Canadians’ camp will take place in conjunction with the Americans’ edition at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth. It starts on July 29.

Team USA and Team Canada will play three times instead of just once – the two rivals will play split-roster games on Tuesday, Aug. 1 (4:08 p.m. and 7:08 p.m.) before concluding the showcase on Saturday, Aug. 5 at 7:08 p.m.

More info on the American side of the event can be found here.
