(April 4-12, 2009 in Hameenlinna, Finland) and the 2009-10 Olympic team centralization in Calgary.
Starting on Thursday, Team Red and Team White will play games against two local Midget AAA boys teams, the
Calgary Flames and UFA Bisons, members of the Alberta Midget Hockey League. Each of the four teams will play
one another in round-robin action, with the top two teams and bottom two teams meeting on Sunday, the final
day of the camp.
