Breaking news has emerged regarding Detroit Red Wings star goalie prospect Trey Augustine as he will be returning to the world juniors to represent team USA.

It's not often young players receive the distinguished honour of representing their country at the coveted World Juniors tournament, let alone twice. But Trey Augustine is making Red Wings fans across the board extremely proud as he was named to the team USA world juniors showcase for the second time in a row. Augustine, who won gold at the tournament last year will be looking to replicate a similar result and will be gaining further elite game time experience.

Augustine is among 10 players who were part of the gold medal-winning 2024 U.S. National Junior Team and are back for more. The netminder will be seeking to win back-to-back world junior crowns. Augustine became just the 20th teenager to start a game in goal at the event since 1930. He's also the youngest ever to play goal for the USA.

Although the preliminary roster released by USA hockey only concerns the showcase, theres no doubt that Augustine will be named the starting goaltender for the second year in a row and is a shoe-in for the job. The World Juniors will be held in December of 2024 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Congratulations to Trey Augustine!
