A total of 20 recent QMJHL draft picks will represent the league at camp later this week.
The under-17 world championships are a fantastic way to get a look at the next generation of young stars, with it being one of the first major tournaments the current age group play against one another.
With Canada usually running multiple teams in the competition, that means a large pool of players are called in for camp in the summer.
This year, 80 players have been called into Canada's U17 camp, including 20 from the QMJHL. Here's a list of every player that will be heading to Oakville next week, and where they were drafted in this year's QMJHL draft.
Top 2026 QMJHL draft picks Thomas Boisvert (Rouyn-Noranda, 1OA), Vincent Boutet (Victoriaville, 2OA) and Jacob McKinnon (Blainville-Boisbriand, 3OA) are among the headliners at Canada's U17 development camp. (Photo: Vincent Éthier)Forwards
