Seven Saskatoon Blades Go Camping With Hockey Canada

By Les Lazaruk Jul 30, 2018 | 7:24 AM

The future core of the Saskatoon Blades is either in Calgary now or has been in the Alberta city taking part in Hockey Canada national team camps.

The Under-18 selection camp continues Monday ahead of next week’s Hlinka-Gretzky Cup in Edmonton and Red Deer. Goaltender Nolan Maier and centre Kirby Dach are among 44 players vying for a spot on the 22-man Canadian roster for the tourney. New Blades’ head coach Mitch Love is an assistant coach with Team Canada.

Meanwhile, back on Friday, the Under-17 Development Camp came to a close. Bridge City Bunch prospects Kyle Crnkovic and Aiden de la Gourgendiere took part…along with Equipment Manager Chad Scharff and Athletic Therapist Brendan Hope. Left winger Crnkovic scored a game-winning goal in a Friday scrimmage while defenceman de la Gourgendiere added an assist in three scrimmage games. The camp will help determine which players suit up for the three Canadian teams at the World Under-17 Challenge later this year.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
