Hockey Canada has announced its summer camp roster for the 2016 World Junior Championships.

The National Team Program released a list Tuesday of 40 players that have garnered invites to Calgary Aug. 1-6 for two days of practices and four exhibition games against both Russia and the Czech Republic.

Highlighting the list are top 2015 draft prospects Mitch Marner, Dylan Strome and Lawson Crouse. Previous top-10 NHL Draft selections Jake Virtanen, Haydn Fleury and Michael Dal Colle were also invited.

2015 first-overall pick Connor McDavid was not among the invitees.

The list of invited prospects drafted by Canadian NHL clubs included Vancouver Canucks 2014 first-rounders Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann as well as Calgary draftees Mason McDonald and Brandon Hickey.

Val d'Or forward Julien Gauthier was the lone invitee who is eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft.

Hockey Canada's director of player personnel Ryan Jankowski hand selected the three goaltenders, 13 defencemen and 24 forwards that will take part.
