CALGARY, Alta. – Fourteen of Canada’s top young goaltenders – 11 in the under-20 age category (candidates
for the National Junior Team) and three in the under-18 category (candidates for the National Men’s Under-18
Team) – will get the opportunity to work with a number of top instructors during the four-day Program of
Excellence goaltending camp, June 11-14 at Norma Bush Memorial Arena in Calgary. All of the goaltenders
attending camp come from the Canadian Hockey League (CHL).
The 14 goaltenders were selected by Hockey Canada based on evaluations done by Hockey Canada head scout Al
Murray during the 2008-09 season and in consultation with coaches, general managers and team officials
throughout the CHL. Frédéric Chabot and Ron Tugnutt – who are the goaltending consultants with Canada’s
National Junior Team and National Men’s Under-18 Team, respectively – will oversee a group of seven
instructors, including Chris Mason (Red Deer, Alta./St. Louis, NHL), who has been a part of Team Canada at
three IIHF World Championships.
One of the under-18 goaltenders originally invited to camp, JP Anderson (Toronto, Ont./Mississauga St.
Michael’s, OHL) is unable to attend as he continues to rehabilitate an injury. His spot at the camp will be
taken by Adam Morrison (Surrey, B.C./Saskatoon, WHL), who is eligible for Canada’s National Junior Team.
The camp will include both on-ice and off-ice sessions. The instructors will provide both the participants
and Hockey Canada with detailed reports at the conclusion of the camp. All of the on-ice sessions will be
held at Norma Bush Memorial Arena in Calgary and will be open to the public.
