Pyett gets the call

Regina Pats captain Logan Pyett has been named to the 37-player roster for Canada's national junior selection camp in Calgary next week. Pyett is the lone Pat invited to the camp. Blueliner Nick Ross, a 1st round pick of the Phoenix Coyotes in 2007, is conspicuous by his absence from the camp roster.

Regina native Riley Holzapfel, a forward with the Moose Jaw Warriors, has also been invited to the training camp for the World Junior team. Pats bench boss Curtis Hunt is an assistant with Team Canada, which will shoot for a 4th straight gold medal at this year's tournament in the Czech Republic.

I suspect a pair of 17-year old Pats, forward Jordan Eberle and defenceman Colten Teubert, will get the call to skate with Team Canada next year.
