PELLETIER INVITED TO CANADA'S SUMMER CAMP

Flames prospect Jakob Pelletier has been named to the roster for the National Junior Team Sport Chek Summer Development Camp, set for July 27-31.

This year's camp will be held virtually, with players "participating in a variety of sessions with a focus on player development through online education." It is a part of Hockey Canada's preparation for the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship, which is slated to be held in Edmonton and Red Deer.

The camp roster includes five goaltenders, 10 defencemen, and 26 forwards.

Pelletier, who was selected 26th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft, was in the mix to be a part of the 2020 World Junior Championship roster but suffered an injury during Hockey Canada's December camp.

He is coming off of a 2019-20 season that saw him score 32 goals and 82 points in 57 regular season games with the Moncton Wildcats.

Pelletier was acquired by the Val-d'Or Foreurs earlier this month and has been named captain ahead of the 2020-21 QMJHL season.
