WORLD JUNIORS
A total of 29 players will be attending this year's Hockey Canada's World Juniors selection camp that is set to begin December 11. Halifax Mooseheads goaltender Zach Fucale will be one of two goalies at the camp. This means that Fucale will be playing for Team Canada during the 2015 World Junior Championships starting on Boxing Day. If Montreal Canadians fans want to see how their possible future goaltender is doing they are in luck because Canada will be playing their round robin games in Montreal. Zach is just one of three QMJHL players that was named to the selection camp roster today.

We will have to wait and see if Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin will be on the final roster for Team Canada. The team has to name it's roster on Christmas Day.

Halifax Mooseheads prospect Eddie Banville has been invited to Team East's selection camp for the World Junior 'A' Challenge that will be held between December 14 and December 20th. Check out The Q News for all the news and coverage of the tournament. Congrats Eddie, make Moose Country proud.
