USA Hockey revealed the split-squad rosters for the 2023 World Junior Summer Showcase, a major evaluation event for the 2024 World Junior Championship.

-- The goaltending battle between incumbent starter Trey Augustine and USHL goalie of the year and Clark Cup Playoffs MVP Jacob Fowler will be among the center-stage battles during this camp. Augustine has the track record after taking over the No. 1 job at the last WJC and now a U18 Men's World Championship gold medal. Fowler, who is a 2004-born, will only have one chance at the WJC as he'll age out in 2025. I would not expect Fowler to simply let Augustine take the reins in net again without a challenge, especially not given his championship pedigree.
-- This might be one of the most wide-open competitions for spots on a U.S. blue line in some time. Returnees Lane Hutson, Ryan Chesley and Seamus Casey (who did not dress in the last tounrmanet) are virtual locks for the roster, but beyond that is anyone's guess. The U.S. has a good mix of right- and left-shot options, but they don't have a ton of size. Players like Sam Rinzel, Drew Fortescue, Garrett Brown, and Jackson Dorrington are the biggest blueliners in camp and would add size, but the World Junior Summer Showcase will push each to prove they can play at the World Junior pace required to have success in the tournament.
