CALGARY, ALBERTA – Forty of Canada’s best under-18 aged hockey players will be in Calgary, AB from July 31 – August 6, 2004 to attend Canada’s National Under-18 Summer Team ‘Development and Selection Camp’ at the Father David Bauer Olympic Arena, Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League announced on Friday.

Twenty-two players from camp will be selected on August 7th to Canada’s National Under-18 Summer Team roster.
Canada is preparing for the 2004 Junior World Cup in Piestany, Slovakia which takes place August 10-15, 2004.  The Junior World Cup is an international Under-18 Summer Event in which Canada has captured the gold medal at seven of eight times since 1997. Other teams participating in the 2004 Junior World Cup include: Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Sweden and the United States.

Of the 40 players attending Team Canada’s camp, all but three (Dustin Butler, Cal Clutterbuck, Bryan Little) are eligible to be selected in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, with many considered to be ‘top prospects’ and projected to be high draft picks.  View under-18 site and practice team rosters at www.hockeycanada.ca

The camp will be under the direction of Head Coach Dave Cameron (Toronto St.Michael’s, OHL) and assistants’ Shawn Camp (Sarnia, OHL) and Benoit Groulx (Gatineau, QMJHL). Hockey Canada’s Head Scout, Blair Mackasey, along with the coaching staff, will oversee the camp evaluations and selection of the players named to the roster for the U-18 Junior World Cup in Europe.

The Under-18 program is part of Hockey Canada’s three-stage Program of Excellence beginning with the regional Under-17 teams and ending with the National Junior Team. The primary objectives of the Under-18 program are to identify, evaluate and condition players to the rigors of international competition by giving them their first exposure to international hockey. Many of these Under-18 players will move on to play with Canada’s National Junior team.
