On Tuesday, Finland, who is coming off a disappointing fifth-place finish last year, revealed their roster, with only a couple of cuts needing to be made before Boxing Day.
Kemell, 19, has appeared in 21 games for the American Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals this season, putting up 14 points (five goals, nine assists), eight penalty minutes and is a minus-two.
The Kemell-less Finland is set to be in Group A at the 2024 World Juniors where they'll face Canada (December 26th), Germany (December 27th), Latvia (December 29th) and Sweden (December 31st) before the playoff round gets underway on January 2nd.
