When the 2020-21 IIHF Under-20 World Championship (AKA the World Junior Championships) tournament in Edmonton officially gets underway on Christmas, the Philadelphia Flyers will have three prospects participating in the tournament: 2019 first-round pick Cam York (defenseman, Team USA), 2019 second-round pick Bobby Brink (right wing, Team USA) and 2020 second-round pick Emil Andrae (defenseman, Team Sweden).
Flyers 2020 first-round pick Tyson Foerster and 2019 fourth-round pick Mason Millman participated in Team Canada's recent WJC selection camp. However, neither player made the final roster in an ultra-competitive field. The 18-year-old Foerster stands a significantly better chance of being part of next year's squad. Millman, who is 19, may have benefited developmentally from the Hockey Canada camp experience ahead of the belated Ontario Hockey League season but was in his last year of WJC eligibility.
