Jerseys Free Shipping . Thirty-seven of Canadas top junior-aged
players have been invited to take part, including returnees Dougie Hamilton,
Scott Harrington, Jonathan Huberdeau, Boone Jenner, Mark Scheifele and Ryan
Strome. “Im very excited. A chance to represent your country; theres nothing
better,” Scheifele said of his invitation. “After getting bronze in last years
world juniors, youre definitely eager to win the gold and Im going to do
whatever it takes to make that team. And if I make it, Im going to do whatever
it takes to win gold.” Other invitees include Edmonton Oilers centre Ryan
Nugent-Hopkins and 2013 NHL draft prospects Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin
of the Halifax Mooseheads. “Theres many players that would be in the NHL right
now if they were playing but its not and the one upside from that is that were
going to have a strong world junior team,” MacKinnon said. “Its definitely
awesome to have lots of players playing for our country and hopefully get a gold
medal.” Nugent-Hopkins, who is playing with the AHLs Oklahoma City Barons during
the NHL lockout, was among the last nine players cut from Hockey Canadas 2010
World Junior camp. He is in Edmonton having his shoulder examined, but is
expected to join the Canadian team. “It is contingent on his health. At this
point I think (the examination) is precautionary,” said Scott Salmond, Hockey
Canadas senior director of operations. “He played on the weekend and flew in so
I think it was always in the plans. Our thoughts is hell be here on the 10th of
December ready to roll.” Click here

roster. MacKinnon and Drouin arent the only players representing the next NHL
draft class, as Ottawa 67s forward Sean Monahan, Kamloopss J.C. Lipon and Hunter
Shinkaruk of the WHLs Medicine Hat Tigers will be attending camp as well. “I
know its not going to be an easy team to make, especially with this lockout, so
I have to show my stuff in camp,” Shinkaruk said. “All I can do know is play
like Ive played all year and hopefully that will be enough to make this team.”

the Barrie Colts, Owen Sounds Daniel Catenacci, Victoriavilles Phillip Danault,

said on Monday. There will be four new faces battling for jobs in goal,
including Boston Bruins first-rounder Malcolm Subban of the OHLs Belleville
Bulls, Jake Peterson of the Saginaw Spirit, Jordan Binnington of the Owen Sound
Platers and Edmonton Oil Kings netminder Laurent Brossoit. “Obviously theres a
lot of pressure on all Canadian guys going to the camp,” Subban said. “My job
hasnt changed from Belleville to Team Canada. My job is to win every night and
Im going to do that. Obviously theyve watched me and the like what I do, so I
just have to bring it to that stage.” In total, 31 of the players named to the

next season in the fourth tier, the countrys lowest professional league.
Rangers, in bankruptcy protection because of tax debts exceeding $30 million, is
now set to visit grounds with seats for just a few hundred fans next season.
“Clearly, starting again from the bottom league is not ideal and makes the task
of rebuilding Rangers a longer one, but the SFL was placed in an impossible
situation and I respect its decision,” Rangers manager Ally McCoist said. “I am
very comfortable with the decision that has been made today because it has been
based on the most important aspect of what the Scottish Football League stands
for; sporting fairness. We have applied those principles in the past, so I am
comfortable that the decision has been made with sporting fairness as key
issue.” Rangers, Scottish champion a record 54 times, was barred last week from
returning to the SPL and hoped to restart in the next tier, the first division
—but that option was rejected by the majority of clubs outside of the
topflight. Wholesale Jerseys. “I am comfortable that the
Scottish Football League has made a very decisive decision,” said David
Longmuir, chief executive of the body for the 30 clubs outside of the SPL. But
the Glasgow clubs fate in the fourth tier might not be final. Rangers remained
hopeful of an SPL 2 being introduced that would see the Ibrox outfit return to
the topflight within a season. “It is now understood that on the back of a
briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan
gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 —which
would include Rangers—and invite existing division one members to join,”
Rangers said on its website. There remains a financial concern for the remaining
clubs in the SPL. Without the world famous rivalry between Celtic and Rangers,
theres a worry the SPL will lose money in television revenue. The repercussions
of Rangers financial meltdown have seen the club banned from European football
for three years, and the loss of many of its best players. ’ ’ ’
