Selecting talent for Canada’s junior hockey team ‘a real challenge’: coach
LANGLEY, B.C. — Tim Hunter knows he’s got some tough decisions looming on the horizon.
The head coach of Canada’s junior national team will soon have to invite dozens of the country’s most talented young hockey players to selection camp.
Then he’ll have to whittle the group down to a final squad to play in this year’s IIHF world juniors championship, which starts in Vancouver and Victoria on Dec. 26.
“You want competition at positions and you want lots of players that you have to make decisions on,” Hunter said.
