"Any time you can represent your country on the world junior stage, something you grow up watching, it's never really something you can pass up too easily," Wright said of the possibility of playing for Team Canada earlier this week. "No final decision has been made yet but it's definitely a tough thing to pass up if the opportunity comes, for sure."
"I think obviously It's going to be something I'll remember for the rest of my life," Wright said. "I think your first NHL goal is definitely a pretty, pretty cool accomplishment, pretty cool milestone. Training camp for Team Canada is set to begin in Moncton, New Brunswick on Friday with the tournament running from Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in Moncton and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
