The showcase has two different rosters, and it will play a role in determining the eventual team to represent the US at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship in the Czech Republic.
Miller is coming off a strong freshman season at Wisconsin, and tallied 22 points in 26 games. He also played for Team USA last year, so there’s a good chance he will make the team a second time.
Jones posted 52 points in 56 games with the Tri-City Storm of the USHL, and is going to play for UMass Amherst this season.
Here’s a look at the full roster of the two teams set to square off starting on July 27.
