Canadiens let Victor Mete take part in Canada's national junior camp

Victor Mete is getting another shot at cracking Canada's national junior team.

The Montreal Canadiens will allow the 19-year-old defenseman to participate in Hockey Canada's selection camp ahead of the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championship.

Mete was not included on the initial selection camp roster that Canada's governing body for hockey revealed last week.

He was among the first cuts at last year's national junior selection camp, but earned a spot with the Canadiens out of training camp this fall.

Mete has appeared in 27 of Montreal's 31 games this season, collecting four assists.

Canada's selection camp runs Tuesday through Friday at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario. The preliminary roster will be pared down to 22 before the 2018 World Junior Championship begins in Buffalo on Dec. 26, 2017.
