With Boxing Day right around the corner, Team Canada's roster is beginning to take shape, as the first round of cuts were announced Thursday, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

The most notable name from the first group of players who won't be making the trip to Buffalo is Vegas Golden Knights 2017 first-round draft pick Cody Glass. The 18-year-old Winnipeg native has 20 goals and 28 assists for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League this season and was expected to make some noise at camp.

Joining Glass on the plane ride home is Winnipeg Jets first-round pick Logan Stanley, Detroit Red Wings draftee Dennis Cholowski, Vancouver Canucks pick Kole Lind, Florida Panthers prospect Johnathan Ang, and goaltender Samuel Harvey of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior League.

Twenty-seven players remain at selection camp in St. Catherines, Ontario, as the roster closes in on the 22-man group who will be representing the red and white at the end of the month.
