As many as 30
current, future and former collegians will take part in USA Hockey's
2004 National Junior Team Evaluation Camp, to be held Aug. 9-14
in Grand Forks, N.D.
Participating
players in the camp are candidates for the 2005 U.S. National Junior
Team, which will compete in the 2005 International Ice Hockey Federation
World Junior Championship. The tournament will take place Dec. 25,
2004-Jan. 4, 2005 in Grand Forks, N.D., and Thief River Falls, Minn.
Eight of the
participants are returning members of the 2004 U.S. National Junior
Team that won the country's first gold medal in World Junior Championship
competition.
North Dakota
head coach Dean Blais will be the head coach of the 2005 U.S. team.
He will be assisted by Scott Sandelin, Blais' former assistant with
the Sioux and the current head coach at Minnesota Duluth, and David
Quinn. Quinn was named the associate head coach at Boston University
on Monday after spending two seasons with the U.S. National Team
Development Program.
