The World Junior Summer Showcase is being held in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year, and two Red Wings prospects will take part after being named to the WJSS roster today.
Defenseman John Whipple, a 2024 draft pick (144th overall) and center Max Plante, a 2025 draft pick (47th overall) are both taking part, and it’s convenient for both players as the WJSS is taking place at the University of Minnesota. Whipple plays for the Golden Gophers, and Plante plays for the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs.
Update: NHL.com reports that Red Wings 2025 draft pick Eddie Genborg will attend the WJSS for Sweden.
