The 2024 World Juniors will take place in Sweden from Dec. 26 until Jan. 5.
Huet said he found out about the invite through an email.
“It’s a great feeling, honestly it’s just an honour to be part of this, when you see the notification in the email you’re just happy and more, I couldn’t be more happy,” Huet told reporters on Tuesday.
Huet said he had a few conversations with the Swiss goalie coach and had an idea of where he stood in regards to the team’s selection camp.
“It’s still always a surprise though and it was just great news.”
Team Canada will be looking to make it three straight gold medals, they'll be holding their selection camp in Oakville Ontario from Dec.10-13.
