The tournament will take place from Nov. 2-11 in Charlottetown, P.E.I.

The Petes selected the first-year Bobcaygeon defenceman in the first round, 13th overall, in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. Through nine games this season, the former Central Ontario Wolves captain scored one goal and added four assists for five points, putting him third in OHL rookie defenceman scoring. In the summer, Carson was among 66 under-17 players selected to participate in the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence Summer Meetings.

“We’re very excited for Carson,” said Michael Oke, Petes general manager and vice president of operations. “This is a great opportunity for him to represent Canada and feature alongside some of the top talent in the 2007 age group from around the world. We’re looking forward to watching Carson compete and can’t wait to see the experience that he brings back to the team.”

The Petes hit the ice on Friday when they travel to St. Catharines to take on the Niagara IceDogs.
