It's a big month for the Sedin family.
Valter Sedin, the son of Vancouver Canucks legend Henrik Sedin, was named to Canada's under-20 soccer team on Friday.
Earlier this month, Henrik and Daniel Sedin were tabbed as co-presidents for the Canucks.
Valter Sedin, 19, was born in Vancouver in 2007 and currently plays soccer for a U19 team in Sweden after spending five years in the Vancouver Whitecaps system.
He was previously selected to Canada's U18 roster last August.
Now, he's part of the 24-player squad which will compete at the Maurice Revello Tournament in France from May 31 to June 14 as a tune-up for the Concacaf U20 championship later in the summer.
“Participating in the Maurice Revello Tournament is an outstanding opportunity for this group to continue their development against some of the best youth national teams in the world. We’re excited to test ourselves in a highly competitive environment as we continue preparing for the Concacaf U-20 Championship this summer," head coach Andrew Olivieri said in a press release.
Canada will face Venezuela, Portugal, the Ivory Coast and Japan in group play.
