Great Britain U16 have named their squad for December’s international tournament in Dumfries.

The GB youngsters will come up against Belgium, Netherlands and Spain for the four-team event at Dumfries Ice Bowl from Wednesday 28th to Friday 30th December 2016.

Head Coach Rob Wilkinson said: “The process of selecting this team was, without doubt, the hardest one I’ve been involved in.

“Along with Sean Easton and Scott Plews, we also had meetings with Mark Beggs and Tony Hand. “We also had several phone conversations with U18 coach Martin Grubb with regards to what they expected.

“Now that the team is finalised, we’re really looking forward to the tournament in Dumfries. I believe, potentially, we have one of the best teams I’ve ever been involved with.”
