Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL), announced on Tuesday the 41 players that will attend the Canada West evaluation camp in preparation for the 2010 World Junior A Challenge.

Of the 41 players, eight are from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. They are
· Clarke Breitkreuz (F) Yorkton Terriers –Springside, SK
· Trevor Cameron (F) Notre Dame Hounds-Mission, BC
. Lee Christensen (D) Melfort Mustangs- Winnipeg,MB

· Jesse Mychan (F) Flin Flon Bombers-Saskatoon, SK

“As a coaching staff, we are looking forward to bringing together 41 of the top Junior A players in western Canada for the evaluation camp,” said head coach Larry Wintoneak of the SJHL’s Kindersley Klippers. “It will be exciting not only for us, but for the fans in Penticton as well to watch these players compete.”

The evaluation camp, scheduled for September 27-28, will be held at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, B.C., the same venue that will host the 2010 World Junior A Challenge from November 8-14.

Canada West has appeared in the gold medal game at all four previous World Junior A Challenges, winning gold in 2006 in Yorkton, Sask., and 2007 in Trail, B.C., before settling for silver in 2008 in Camrose, Alta., and last year in Summerside, P.E.I.
