Netminder Lucas Brine will replace the injured Jackson Whistle for next month’s World Championship in Switzerland which is taking place from 15th to 31st May.
It’s a third World Championship for Brine after being part of the team at the 2024 World Championship in Czechia and last year’s tournament in Romania.
Brine won his first GB cap when he became the 433rd player to represent GB as back-up to Ben Bowns against Austria in 2024.
The 23-year-old made five appearances for GB U18s in 2019 and two for GB Under-20s in 2022 where he won a bronze medal.
GB will play four matches, including two in the UK, against Italy as part of World Championship preparations.
Pete Russell’s side go head-to-head with Italy at Planet Ice Milton Keynes on Thursday 30th April (19:30 face-off) and the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on Saturday 2nd May (19:00 face-off).
They will then finish the four-game series with two matches in Varese in Italy on Sunday 10th May and Tuesday 12th May.
At May’s World Championship, GB will face Austria, USA, Hungary, Switzerland, Finland, Latvia and Germany in the group stages at the 12,000-seater Swiss Life Arena in Zurich.
Group B – which is being held at the 9,000-seater BCF Arena in Fribourg, consists of Canada, Sweden, Czechia, Denmark, Slovakia, Norway, Slovenia and Italy.
