HAMILTON, ONTARIO. USA Hockey has officially informed the Hamilton Bulldogs that star forward Arthur Kaliyev has been invited to the 28 player Evaluation Camp where he will skate for the opportunity to compete for Team USA at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.

Arriving in Hamilton after being drafted in the 2nd round, 26th overall in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection Draft, Arthur Kaliyev made an immediate impact. Scoring 31 goals as a rookie in the 2017-18 season on route to being a part of the 2018 OHL Champions, it would prove to be only the start of Kaliyev meteoric rise in the Ontario Hockey League.

Prior to the 2018-19 season, Kaliyev would participate in the 2018 Hlinka-Gretzky on behalf of USA Hockey and impressed on the international stage for the first time, posting 3 goals and 3 assists for 6 points across 5 games in the tournament.

The 2018-19 season would see Kaliyev re-write the record books for the Hamilton Bulldogs franchise as the gifted forward recorded a team record 51 goals, tied a team record with 51 to total a team record 102 points while appearing in 67 games.

Once again USA Hockey would come calling for Kaliyev’s services prior to the 2019-20 season as he would appear in the 2019 World Junior Summer Showcase, an early evaluation for players looking to earn their way into the evaluation camp.

Kaliyev has impressed once again in the 2019-20 season and appears on track to re-write his own records with 28 goals and 27 assists for 55 points through just 30 games so far this season.

The Hamilton Bulldogs are incredibly proud of the accomplishments of Arthur Kaliyev and are immensely excited to see him earn the opportunity to represent the United States of America on the grandest stage for junior hockey.
