12/5/2000 12:00:00 AM | Ice Hockey
Cammalleri will have a chance to become the third member of the Michigan ice hockey team to represent their country at the 2001 World Junior Championship, as Andy Hilbert (Howell, Mich.) and Mike Komisarek (Islip Terrace, N.Y.) will play for the U.S. National Junior team. The final roster for the Canadian team will be announced on Dec. 18 following the National Junior Team's Selection Camp from Dec. 13-18 at the Beatrice Ice Gardens in North York, Ontario.
Cammalleri is second to Hilbert in scoring this season for the Wolverines. He has a team-high 11 goals and has added 14 assists for 25 points in 17 games. He currently has a career-high six-game scoring streak (8-5-13). This past summer, he participated in the Canadian Hockey Association's Evaluation Camp and won a gold medal with Canada's National Under-18 Team at the 1999 Under-18 Four Nations Tournament in the Czech Republic.
Cammalleri is expected to miss at least two Michigan games. He will not be available for either game of the Great Lakes Invitational (Dec. 29-30). Depending on Team Canada's schedule near the conclusion of the championship, he could also miss the games at Yost Ice Arena against Lake Superior State (Jan. 5, 7).
