We're into the second half of the hockey season, and the push for the playoffs begin!
Team Canada Development Camp Roster | 
Starting August 4th, 45 of the top under-18 players in Canada will partake in a three day development camp in preparation for the selection of the Team Canada Under-20 team. The tournament will be held in Buffalo, NY beginning in December.
An explanation of the camp from the Canadian Hockey League website…
The players attending camp, born in 1991 or 1992, were selected by Hockey Canada head scout Al Murray, in consultation with the coaching staff. Head coach Dave Cameron (Mississauga St. Michael’s, OHL) along with assistant coaches Ryan Huska (Kelowna, WHL) and André Tourigny (Rouyn-Noranda, QMJHL) will lead the players through practices and two intersquad games at the development camp, in what is the first step towards naming Canada’s team for the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship. George Burnett (Belleville, OHL), recently named an assistant coach with the team, will not be at the camp due to his involvement as head coach of Canada’s National Men’s Summer Under-18 Team.
