Swift Current Broncos defenceman Dillon Heatherington is once again in the mix to get on Canada's National Junior Hockey Team, after Hockey Canada invited him to the team's summer development camp for the second year in a row.

He attended the summer camp last season, and played for Team WHL in last season's Subway Super Series, but in the end wasn't named to the final selection camp roster for the World Juniors. He did represent Canada earlier in 2013 on the gold medal winning Under-18 team in Sochi, Russia in the spring.

Heatherington scored six goals and 35 points in 70 regular season games last season and was selected 50th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in last year's NHL draft, but has yet to sign with the team.

Forty-one players were selected to the camp roster including 16 from the WHL. The camp goes during the first week of August in Quebec.
