    Post Adam Brown among Five WHL Elite Goaltenders to Attend Program of Excellence Camp

    Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Hockey League, has announced that the fourth annual Program of Excellence goaltending camp will be held at Norma Bush Arena in Calgary from June 11-14.

    Fourteen goaltenders – 10 in the under-20 age category (candidates for the National Junior Team) and four in the under-18 category (candidates for the National Men’s Under-18 Team) – will get the opportunity to work with a number of instructors during the four-day camp.

    All 14 goaltenders were selected by Hockey Canada based on evaluations done by Hockey Canada head scout Al Murray during the 2008-09 season and in consultation with coaches, general managers and team officials throughout the CHL. Frederic Chabot and Ron Tugnutt – who are the goaltending consultants with Canada’s National Junior Team and National Men’s Under-18 Team, respectively – will oversee a group of seven instructors.

    “The goaltenders invited to this camp are the future of the Program of Excellence, and we want to give them every opportunity to develop,” says Brad Pascall, senior director of men’s national teams for Hockey Canada. “We have had a lot of success with this camp in its first three years, and are excited to have these goaltenders work with some of the top instructors in the game.”

    The camp will include both on-ice and off-ice sessions. The instructors will provide both the participants and Hockey Canada with detailed reports at the conclusion of the camp. All of the on-ice sessions will be held at Norma Bush Arena in Calgary and will be open to the public.

    I thought that Adam Brown was an American or does he just live in the states.

    Adam Brown has duel citizenship because his dad is Canadian. His dad is Newell Brown, the assistant coach of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks, who was born in Ontario.
    This is probably a case of Hockey Canada trying to claim Adam Brown before Hockey U.S.A. does.

    Who was the other young goalie that Adam Brown beat out last fall for a roster spot with the rockets? I think at the time the decision was made, it was almost a coin toss. I recall that they kept Adam as if they let him go, some other team could pick him up. whereas the other kid was already on Kelowna's protected list? Does anyone recall? If so, how did that other goalie look during the 08/09 season? Maybe Kelowna has 2 promising young goalies for the next couple years.

    The player has the right to represent the country of his choice. Same as Myers and Kozun.

    The other goalie was Dylan Tait. He ended up playing as a backup on a JrB team in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.
