INDIANAPOLIS—The Indiana Ice announced today that forward Robbie Baillargeon has been selected to represent the United States at the World Jr. A Championships in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia from November 5-11.

Baillargeon heads into the tournament tied for second in the league in assists (6) and leading the Ice in points (7).  The Ottawa Senators prospect returns to Indy after finishing third on the team in points (48) during the 2011-2012 campaign.  He joins 20 other USHL players on the U.S. squad that has won a medal in five of six previous tournaments, including gold medal performances in three of the last four years.
