USA Hockey has named six Ontario Hockey League standouts to its upcoming selection camp, a key stepping stone toward the 2026 Hlinka‑Gretzky Cup.
Camp Roster and Backgrounds
The invitees — forwards Gerry DiCunzolo, Sawyer Schmidt, Nolan Snyder, Michael Tang and Ty Bergeron, plus goaltender Mason Courville — represent a blend of offensive skill and net‑minding reliability.
DiCunzolo, who logged four goals and five assists for the Peterborough Petes this season, brings a nine‑point total from 63 games, while Schmidt, despite being draft‑eligible only for 2028, contributed two points in 25 OHL appearances for the Saginaw Spirit.
Snyder’s 33‑point campaign with the Kingston Frontenacs, featuring 16 goals and 17 assists, highlights his offensive output, and Tang’s 27‑point season with the USHL Madison Capitals underscores his development across the border.
Bergeron, now signed with the Windsor Spitfires for the 2026‑27 campaign, adds 20 points from 55 games with the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the USHL, and Courville’s 8‑8‑2 record with a 3.06 goals‑against average and .893 save percentage for the Flint Firebirds illustrates his emerging presence between the pipes.
Camp Schedule and Tournament Outlook
The selection camp will convene in St. Paul, Minnesota, from July 23rd through 27th, after which the team will travel to Edmonton for the August 3rd‑8th tournament.
USA Hockey’s camp in St. Paul serves both as an evaluation platform and a final opportunity for players to impress coaching staff before the international field is finalized.
With the tournament slated for early August, the selected prospects will have a compressed window to showcase their abilities in high‑stakes environments, making the upcoming camp a critical juncture in their development paths.
