Colby Barlow was a notable player on the ice as he has made the starting roster for team Canada's test match against Finland.

Colby Barlow will be looking to impress coaches during team Canada's world Junior summer showcase. Team Canada is currently in the process of playing 3 test matches against Sweden, Finland, and the USA.
Although Winnipeg Jets prospect Colby Barlow wasn't named to the roster during the Loss to Sweden, coaches gave him the nod for yesterdays match against Finland.
Colby Barlow was noticeable in the 1st. His line controlled the flow of play for the most part. He was also probably Canada's most physical player. Had 4-5 hits. Don't recall seeing him use his body this much before

He's a physical player who lets his opponents know he's there. I think the World Junior pace is a bit ahead of him yet, which is going to be part of what he has to work on to make Canada's roster. That said, he has enough touch on the puck and plays with enough edge that he could play in a lot of different spots in Canada's lineup.

Team Canada edged out team Finland in a thrilling 8-6 victory. They now look to close out the summer showcase against team USA.
