Forwards Max Plante and Jayson Shaugabay and 6-foot-5, 207-pound defenseman Adam Kleber, signature players in Minnesota Duluth's 2024-25 incoming freshmen class, will play for Team USA in the 2024 World Junior Summer Showcase. The four-team event – also featuring players from Canada, Sweden and Finland – will be held from July 26 to August 3 in Plymouth, MI. (USA roster, game schedule).

Plante (Hermantown, U.S. National U-18/USHL) and Kleber (Chaska, Lincoln/USHL) are 2024 NHL Draft eligible, and Shaugabay (Warroad, Green Bay/USHL) was a 2023 fourth-round selection by Tampa Bay.

Howie: Hughes trade, DECC to host World Junior Championship exhibitions

This is a bet that Hughes ages cleanly, that his body cooperates, that the cap continues to rise, and that the surrounding cast can be managed without suffocation. It’s a bet that Minnesota can finally pull off the superstar contract that doesn’t end in regret.

Howie: The Plante pipeline rolls on, with one big question left hanging

Imagine if Max Plante chooses Amsoil Arena for one more winter instead of Grand Rapids. Victor arrives. Zam continues his ascent. And all three Plantes share the same sheet of ice, wearing the same sweater, saluted by the same 6,700 who’ve been following this family saga since pee wees.

Howie: Duluth isn’t in a recession yet, but our people are

Retirees are feeling it in an even more unforgiving way. Social Security doesn’t rise with property taxes. Pensions don’t adjust for water and sewer increases. Utility bills, groceries and insurance all climb while fixed incomes stay fixed. So seniors tighten up.
