Tees native Drew Sim will go between the pipes at Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence goaltending camp at the Markin MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park from June 5-8.

The camp serves as the initial evaluation stage for summer development and selections camps for Canada’s national teams.

Sim, 16, played the 2018-19 season with Delta Hockey Academy (CSSHL) where he posted a 3.78 goals-against average and .885 save percentage in the regular season (2.88 and .925 in the playoffs).
