COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Hockey announced additions to the 2019 World Junior Summer Showcase invitee list, and Sun Devil sophomore forward Demetrios Koumontzis was one of those added to the 44 player roster. Koumontzis becomes the first player in ASU program history to receive an invite to Team USA's World Junior Summer Showcase, which will be held July 26-Aug. 3 in Plymouth, Michigan, at USA Hockey Arena.
The Scottsdale-native and Calgary Flames' prospect completed his rookie collegiate season with 20 points (4g, 16a) in 34 games, and finished 2018-19 with a point-per-game average in his final 10 games.
"We're very proud of Demetrios," said head coach Greg Powers. "He's earned this opportunity and I have no doubt he'll go and represent himself and our program incredibly well at this camp while working toward his ultimate goal of representing our country at the World Junior Championships."
The week-long camp will feature 11 international competitions between Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States.
The 20-year-old winger will compete for a spot on the U.S. National Junior Team that will compete in the 2020 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship, Dec. 26, 2019 through Jan. 5, 2020, in Ostrava and Trinec, Czech Republic.
Of the 44 players attending, Koumontzis is one of 16 that competed in college hockey last season.
