Canada names Dube captain of WJHC squad

Dillon Dube will captain Canada's world junior team, the club announced on Saturday.

In addition, defensemen Dante Fabbro, Victor Mete, and Kale Clague were named alternates.

Dube scored two goals and added an assist in Canada's 8-1 win over Switzerland in pre-tournament action on Friday. It was the first game action he'd seen since suffering a shoulder injury on Dec. 9.

Canada kicks off the tournament on Boxing Day when it takes on Finland.
