Colorado College sophomore left wing Jaden Schwartz was invited to the Hockey Canada world juniors championship selection camp for the 2011-12 tournament, which begins Dec. 26.
The camp is Dec. 10-14 in Calgary.
He is one of three returnees from the Canadian national team that garnered silver at last year’s championship.
A story and the full roster is here.
Hi Joe, I wonder if this means Jaden will miss the game on 9 Dec along with the game on 10 Dec, or just the one game on 10 Dec?
I am sure that it is an honor for J. Schwartz to be invited back. However, last year in the tournament he suffered a broken ankle and was not available to CC for 2 months. J. Schwartz must be on scholarship and ticket sales help fund scholarships for athletes. Jaden should consider that the program at CC and the paying fans are his priority and the source of his college education. Just say “no” to the Canadian junior team this year.
You must be smoking some of that CO green stuff if you think Schwartz owes anything to the fans or the school that is providing for his two years of education. CC is lucky enough to have him back this year. Representing your country is an extraordinary achievement and the decision should be based off what Jaden wants.
I’m a CC fan, but clearly Jaden should play for his country. And I’ll cheer him on for every minute he plays. I am thankful Jaden came back to CC for a second season.
