While 22 young hockey players from across the country have been named to Canada’s Junior team, Kelowna’s Brett Bulmer is on his way back to his WHL team.
The Kelowna Rockets forward believes he narrowly missed the cut.
“It’s pretty disappointing,” says Bulmer . “I thought I worked hard, did everything they asked of me at camp so it’s really disappointing. I thought I had a good shot. I worked hard, got on the body and did everything they asked.”
