He said there was no patronage involved in the selection of Belleville goalie Tyson Teichmann along with forwards Austen Brassard and Michael Curtis, and that the three Bulls earned their spot on the 22-man roster through hard work. "Im sure there will be lots of interesting takes on that," said Burnett of the squads Belleville connection. "It would be very foolish of me to put somebody on this team that wasnt prepared or that earned their way." The Western Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will each be represented by four players. Forward Lucas Lessio, who played for the St. Michaels Buzzers of the Central Canadian Hockey League last season, also made the squad. Team captain Ryan Murray said hes confident that Burnett and his staff picked the best squad possible to give Canada a chance to defend the gold medal it won last year.

Through the four-day camp in Calgary, Burnett said Teichmann showed the he has what it takes to succeed at the international level along with fellow netminder Robin Gusse of the QMJHLs hicoutimi Sagueneens. "Im very confident that Tyson was the strongest through the three days in goal," Burnett said. Whether its him or Gusse that gets the call, Teichmann said that both goalies will give it their all to back Canada to victory. "Were going over there to win games and hopefully winning games will lead to a gold medal," said Teichmann, whos pleased that Brassard and Curtis also cracked the Canadian lineup. Antrel Rolle Jersey.

Marie Greyhounds. Brassard said hes looking forward to having Burnett behind the bench for Canada. "Hes a great coach. He knows what hes talking about. Hopefully he can give us some guidance over there and itll work out well," he said. Prior to the U18 camp, Burnett said that Curtis was "a little bit on the outside" as far as making the team, but that he eventually cemented his spot. "Hes earned his way with his versatility and his ability to play at both ends of the rink," Burnett said. "The bottom line is he made this team and he should be proud of that." Curtis referred to being invited to the camp as "one of the greatest moments of my life," which has since been surpassed by cracking the lineup. "Getting the call to represent Canada and be on the team was just phenomenal, an unbelievable feeling," said Curtis. "Canadas always the best prepared team, so weve always got a good shot to win it. Thats what were all here to do and thats why coach brought us here." Canada has won the Ivan Hlinka in five of the past six years.
