Comrie, Jenks Invited to the U.S. National Junior Camp

Panthers' prospects Adam Comrie and A.J. Jenks are among the 43 players invited to the United States World Junior camp.

Comrie had nine goals and thirty points in 50 games with the Saginaw Spirit (OHL) this past season and was a third round choice of the Panthers last summer. He also managed a pair of assists in eight playoff games this season.

Jenks was taken in the fourth round by the Panthers last summer and in 61 games with the Plymouth Whalers (OHL), he scored 21 goals and amassed a total of 52 points. The Whalers made the playoffs as well, and Jenks had three points in eleven games.

As an aside, there's a local kid on the list. In looking at his numbers, they were very modest until he was traded this season from the Windsor Spitfires to the Erie Otters. With Erie, his production exploded and he scored 17 goals and 17 assists in 35 games. His name is Andrew Yogan and he's from Boca Raton. He isn't draft eligible this season, but the Panthers have their eye on him, and they may not be the only ones.
