CALGARY - It didnt take long for "the Canadian way" to become a mantra at Hockey Canadas massive under-17 mens hockey camp. Pablo Zabaleta Jersey . The slogan is on the back of every red T-shirt worn by the 108 players circulating through the Markin
MacPhail Centre on Calgarys west side. The phrase is drilled into their heads on
and off the ice by their coaches and Hockey Canada staff. "They use that term
almost in every sentence," Toronto defenceman Jakob Chychrun said Wednesday.
"They really teach us all to be young men. "They talk about professionalism,
respect and even the little things like cleaning the table up after lunch." Part
of the revamp of the national under-17 program was summoning this vast group of
players born in 1998 to learn early what Hockey Canada expects and wants from
players who wear the Maple Leaf. The nine-day camp ends Tuesday. "Weve had a lot
of lectures on the Canadian way and what that means to us and how we have to
respect it," defenceman Sean Day said. "Thats one of the most used words Ive
heard in the last two days is respect. Just having pride in your nation and
respecting everyone who is involved and respecting your opponents." Their days
have been filled with fitness and hockey skills testing as well as classroom
seminars on nutrition, mental training and media relations. Theyre learning how
to warm up and cool down properly for workouts and games in order to avoid
injury and perform their best. Players from Duncan, B.C., to Mount Pearl, N.L.,
have been divided into six teams with their own coaches and support staff. They
start playing games against each other Thursday. "The message to them is theres
a way we do things here," said Scott Salmond, Hockey Canadas vice-president of
hockey operations. "What were trying to teach them in the different areas, were
going to have a better chance to win. "We want them leaving here knowing what
the Canadian way is, that theyre going to play hard, theyre committed players,
theyre character players, they accept their roles. The Canadian way was really
borne out of the Olympic team and the performance that they had in Sochi,
everything from how that team performed to how they prepared. "Its playing hard,
its playing with character and when other teams push, we push back harder. Those
are the messages were trying to give every day, all day. The Markin MacPhail
Centre will bulge with Canadian hockey prospects when another 44 arrive Friday
for the under-18 mens selection camp. A team of the best 22 players born in 1997
will be chosen to play for Canada at the annual Ivan Hlinka international
tournament Aug. 11-16 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Canada has won the
tournament six consecutive years. The presence of the under-18 players is
another way of driving home the message to the under-17 players whats required
to play for Canada. "We want those kids to see the next level for them," Salmond
said. The World Under-17 Hockey Challenge has traditionally been held in late
December during its 22 years, but the event will be played Oct. 31 to Nov. 8
this year in Sarnia, Ont. Instead of five regional teams representing Atlantic,
Quebec, Ontario, West and Pacific, Canada will enter three teams mixing players
from different regions. So Canadians will now play in the under-17 tournament
under the banner of their country, and not their geographical region. There will
be more competition to play in the tournament as 66 players from across the
country will be named to those three squads. Torontos Chychrun and Day played
for Ontario at the most recent under-17 tournament held in Sydney, N.S., under
the old format. Forward Mitchell Balmas of Sydney represented Team Atlantic and
Edmonton forward Tyler Benson played for Team Pacific. Chychrun was the first
overall pick in this years Ontario Hockey League draft by the Sarnia Sting.
Benson went first in last years Western Hockey League draft to the Vancouver
Giants. Day is the only player invited to this under-17 camp who played major
junior hockey last season. He was an underage defenceman for the OHLs
Mississauga Steelheads. Balmas was a first-round pick of the QMJHLs
Charlottetown Islanders this year. This is his first trip to Western Canada and
his camp roommates are from Ontario and Quebec. Mixing the players pushes them
out of their comfort zone. Where once they compared themselves to players from
within their own province, they now measure themselves against their
counterparts in the rest of the country. "You see how you rank with the other
guys all across Canada and what you need to work on," Balmas said. "You kind of
have to bring all your stuff because you dont know who youre playing against or
who youre playing with. You have to learn and adapt." Patrick Roberts Jersey . The Hall of Famer was saluted at Petco Park on Thursday night in a ceremony that would have made
"Mr. Eliaquim Mangala Manchester City Jersey . Kerr shot a four-under 66 for a second consecutive day, while Park carded a
five-under 65, leaving both tied for top spot after two rounds at the Royal
Mayfair Golf Club. Both were 8-under 132 in a day of golf under slightly
overcast skies with gentle winds.MIAMI -- Receiver Kevin Cone has signed a
one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins after spending the past three seasons
with the Atlanta Falcons, where he contributed mostly on special teams. Receiver
Michael Rios and quarterback Jordan Rodgers also signed one-year deals, the team
said Thursday. Cone played in all 16 games last year and tied for ssecond on the
Falcons with seven special teams tackles. Joe Hart Manchester City Jersey. . He had one reception. Rios, who grew up in Miami, was with the Arizona Cardinals last year,
but was waived before training camp. Rodgers, the younger brother of Green Bay
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa
Bay Buccaneers last year. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
