CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Hockey League, has announced that the
fifth-annual Program of Excellence goaltending camp will be held at Norma Bush Arena in Calgary from June
17-20.
Fourteen goaltenders – nine in the under-20 age category (candidates for the National Junior Team) and
five in the under-18 category (candidates for the National Men's Under-18 Team) – will get the opportunity to
work with a number of instructors during the four-day camp.
All 14 goaltenders were selected by Hockey Canada based on evaluations done by head scout Al Murray during
the 2009-10 season and in consultation with coaches, general managers and team officials throughout the
CHL.
