Derrick Pouliot, a 17 year old defenceman from Weyburn, was the only Western pick on the 19 man roster, heading to the 2011 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament.

The list includes 11 members of the gold medal-winning Ontario entry, four players from Team Pacific (bronze medal), three from Quebec (fourth place) and Pouliot from Team West (eighth place).

Pouliot plays defence for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
