Final Day Of Team Canada Camp

The final game of Canada’s world junior selection camp will be played this evening in Calgary. 35 players remain at the camp, and with final cuts coming tomorrow morning, tonight’s contest against the CIS “All-Stars” will be the last chance many get to show off.

Three Sea Dogs were invited to attend the camp – forward Zack Phillips and Jonathan Huberdeau along with defenseman Nathan Beaulieu. Phillips was among the seven players cut this morning while Huberdeau still has not hit the ice yet.

Huberdeau’s foot injury has been getting plenty of attention ever since he showed up in Calgary with a walking boot still on. By the sounds of it, Huberdeau is getting close to returning to the ice.

“We had planned to skate Huberdeau but he went off-site,” Team Canada head coach Don Hay told Future Considerations. “He’s doing a little swimming, some water recovery work for the foot. He’s progressing really well. We’re happy with his progress.”

As for Beaulieu, he recorded an assist on Sunday night in Team Red’s 3-2 loss to Team White. He shifted to Team White for last night’s game and had a solid first period.

“Nathan Beaulieu is looking more and more like a power play specialist,” wrote Aaron Vickers of Future Considerations. "Shown some good things with the man-advantage. Hasn’t shown much else other than that.”

Team Red won Monday’s game 2-0.

Game time for tonight's contest is 10pm AST and can be streamed for free at FastHockey.

PHILLIPS

Zack Phillips spoke to the media after getting word that he had been released this morning.

"It's tough just to make the camp, so it kind of sucks getting cut, but I wish the rest of the guys luck and hopefully I do well," said Phillips.
