COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville hockey head coach Mike Corbett has been selected to be an assistant on the U.S. Under-17 Men's Select Team that will compete in the 2019 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament.
 
Corbett is one of two assistants on the U.S. Under-17 Men's Select Team, which is guided by head coach Matthew Curley who is also at the helm of fellow WCHA member Alaska Anchorage.
 
The 2019 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament is set for August 13-17 in Füssen, Germany, where the U.S. will compete alongside the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland.
