Cole Ully didn’t let a summer snub slow him down.

Ully wasn’t among the 41 players who were invited to Canada’s national junior team summer development camp Aug. 3-8 in Brossard, Montreal and Sherbrooke, Que.

That didn’t deter the 19-year-old Calgarian from training hard in the off-season prior to his fourth season with the Kamloops Blazers.

“I definitely focused on having a good start coming into the year,” said Ully, who was chosen as the WHL Player of the Month for September/October after scoring nine goals and adding 17 assists in his first 16 games of the season.

Ully’s performance also earned him an invitation to play for Team WHL in the Subway Super Series, which Hockey Canada scouts watch closely to help determine who will be invited to the national junior team selection camp in December.

From there, 22 players will be chosen to represent Canada at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, to be held in Montreal and Toronto from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.
