Kraken rookie Shane Wright to be loaned to Hockey Canada for 2023 World Juniors

According to TSN's Darren Dreger, Seattle Kraken rookie forward Shane Wright is expected to be loaned to Hockey Canada on Thursday ahead of selection camp for the 2023 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.

Wright, 18, returned to the Kraken lineup on Tuesday night after a two-week conditioning stint in the American Hockey League. In his return, which happened to be against the Montreal Canadiens, Wright scored his first career National Hockey League goal.

The World Junior squad will be meeting in Moncton (New Brunswick) for selection camp, which is set to get underway on December 9th. Canada will play three exhibition games before opening the tournament on Boxing Day against Czechia.
