Jack Hughes keeps accumulating honors and accolades.
The 17-year-old forward has been added to the USA's IIHF roster for the World Championships, which start next week, along with defenseman Adam Fox and Christian Wolanin.
Hughes would be the youngest player to play for the U.S. in the history of the tournament.

The forward out of the United States National Team Development Program joins brother Quinn, who was the No. 7 pick by the Canucks out of Michigan in the 2018 NHL Draft.
Jack is in contention with Finland's Kaapo Kakko to be the No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft in June.
He helped lead the US to a bronze medal in the 2019 IIHF Under-18 Men's World Championship this year, scoring 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists). His 32 points in his career at the tournament broke Alex Ovechkin's record for the event.
The Hughes brothers will join Hart Trophy finalist Patrick Kane and Hobey Baker finalist Fox on the 2019 roster.
Fox was traded to the Rangers on Tuesday for two draft picks after he told the Hurricanes he would not sign with the team and planned to go into free agency next summer.
Also on the World roster for the US are Alex DeBrincat, Jack Eichel, Johnny Gaudreau, Clayton Keller, Dylan Larkin and Noah Hanifin.
