Saint John Sea Dogs captain Jonathan Huberdeau
participated in part of Team Canada’s practice yesterday as he continues his
recovery from a broken foot.
According to PostMedia News, “the sublimely skilled
winger, who has been rehabbing a broken foot, skated for 15 minutes prior to
Friday’s intense morning practice at Fenlands Arena in Banff. He also joined
the national junior team on the ice for about 20 minutes of drills."
“It doesn’t bother me any more,”said Huberdeau. “So
that’s good, but still, my conditioning isn’t there yet. I just have to work
hard now and keep going slowly.
“No (pain) on the ice but off the ice, I feel it a little
more.”
The article also states that Team Canada would like to
see him play in one of their three exhibition games.
TEAM SLOVAKIA
Meanwhile, Tomas Jurco missed Friday’s Sea Dogs game in Cape
Breton because he has departed to Alberta for Team Slovakia’s world junior
camp. Their camp begins today. The Slovaks will meet Finland on Dec. 21 in
Winsport and the U.S. National Team on Dec. 23 in Three Hills in pre-tournament
action.
TEAM USA
Charlie Coyle and Team USA begin camp today as well in
Camrose, Alberta. The Americans will name their final roster on December 22. Coyle is one of eight returning players that helped Team
USA capture bronze at last year’s tournament.
The camp will include exhibition games against Russia
(Dec. 20), Switzerland (Dec. 21) and Slovakia (Dec. 23).
