KAMLOOPS — Canada will see its first action today in the World Junior Hockey Showcase at the Sandman Centre.

Team White will take on U.S. Blue at 4pm followed by Team Red against U.S. white at 7:30 tonight.

Two Canucks prospects are among the players on the Canadian teams — goaltender Michael Dipietro and forward Jett Woo, who Vancouver took with its second round pick in last month’s NHL draft.

The Showcase began last night with Sweden defeating U.S. Blue 3-1 and U.S. White downed Finland 5-2.
