He will be part of the Maple Leaf roster due to the injury to Colton Dach, who will miss the remainder of the tournament. The nature of his injury has not been disclosed.
Beck had done well at Team Canada Junior camp, but he had been part of the last wave of cuts.
In 30 games this season in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OHL) with the Mississauga Steelheads, Beck has 40 points, including 17 goals. He also posted a differential of 6. The centerman was a second-round selection of the Habs in the most recent National League draft.
