John Vanbiesbrouck, general manager of the 2022 US National Junior Team and also the assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA hockey stated, “We had a great week of camp followed by a pair of good pre-tournament games to help us finalize our roster”. “We had some spots to fill from December and we filled them in well. These are hard decisions, but we believe these are the 25 best players to achieve our goal.”

The New York Rangers selected Brett in the fifth round of the 2020 Draft. Later he mentioned, “I’ve been working towards this my whole life,” Berard recalled about being drafted. “For that day to finally come and see my name on TV is something I will never forget. Being home with my mom and dad, was awesome. It was pretty crazy.” Last season he had registered 38 points in 36 games.
