BEAULIEU INVITED TO WJC CAMP?

Has Nathan Beaulieu been invited to Canadian world junior summer evaluation camp?

“Nathan Beaulieu, the Strathroy kid who plays for the Saint John Sea Dogs, has just been invited to the Canadian world junior summer evaluation camp,” reports the London Free Press in an article about Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Brian Campbell’s Stanley Cup parade.

This report comes with caution, however, as this has not been stated by any other media source or by Hockey Canada. Beaulieu remains off HockeyCanada.ca’s camp roster for the event.

When Station Nation asked the question of whether this was an error or not on Twitter, Rogers TV QMJHL reporter Christina Rogers said that the report was “legit.”

The writer of the article, Ryan Pyette, is very reliable and covers the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights for the Free Press.

If Beaulieu has been invited, he would join Drummondville Voltigeurs forward Sean Couturier as the only 2011 draft eligible player at the camp. Only eight players from the QMJHL were invited, including Sea Dogs defenseman Simon Despres.

The camp begins August 4 at St. John’s, Newfoundland’s Mile One Center.
