Forty-six players are expected to take part in the online camp from July 27-31. It will be led by Hockey Canada’s management and coaching staff for the 2021 IIHF WJC Broadcast World Junior Championship and be focused on player development through online education.

“We want to get our staff and the players together,” said Alan Millar, a member of the WJC management staff. “It’s about connecting with the players, it’s about building relationships with the players, particularly our coaches. Our coaching staff, Andre Tourigny, (assistant) Michael Dyck, (assistant) Mitch Love and Jason LaBarbera, our goalie coach, have really drove the bus in terms of a lot of the messaging.

“Certainly it’s going to be an interesting process, but we think that we’ve put a real good program together that will benefit the players and the staff.”

The summer evaluation camp is the first step in building the roster that will play for Canada at the 2021 WJC Hockey watch online, which is scheduled for Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, 2021 in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta.

In years past, that evaluation would have been held at the World Junior Summer Showcase, where Canada would practice and play games against the United States, Sweden and Finland. But due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus, Hockey Canada announced March 13 it was canceling all activities until further notice. USA Hockey had planned to hold the WJSS at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Michigan, from July 24 to Aug. 1 with no other teams participating, but canceled the event July 15.

Millar said he feels Hockey Canada has designed an in-depth curriculum that should simulate the WJSS experience.

“Part of it is we talk about winning habits, we talk about keys to success,” he said. “We’re going to be dealing with some things where there’s going to be evaluations and talking about values, talking about habits, watching video. We’re going to have breakout groups where the players are going to be dealing with the coaches in different subjects. USA Junior Ice Hockey

“There’s going to be different roundtables with alumni, past players, coaches, managers. Our coaches will be engaging with our players in smaller groups. ... We’ll be going through some of our mental performance preparation, we’ll be doing some team-building activities, a number of guest speakers. It’s a full agenda.”

Seven players from the team that helped Canada win the 2020 World Juniors were invited to take part, including four top prospects for the 2020 NHL Draft: forwards Alexis Lafreniere of Rimouski of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Quinton Byfield of Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League and Dawson Mercer of Chicoutimi of the QMJHL, and defenseman Jamie Drysdale of Erie of the OHL. Also invited were defenseman Bowen Byram (Colorado Avalanche), and forwards Dylan Cozens (Buffalo Sabres) and Connor McMichael (Washington Capitals).
