Hockey Canada announced on Wednesday that it has cancelled all summer camps for national teams -- including the Canadian junior team -- and will hold virtual training sessions instead.
The Canadian junior squad's annual development camp was originally scheduled to go from July 27 to 31.
Hockey Canada says the virtual sessions will include at-home strength and conditioning plans, mental performance plans and check-ins, nutrition, dry-land skills, skating simulations, team-building activities, short-term international competition preparation and meetings with coaching staffs.Hockey Canada has yet to name the rosters and staff for the team programs, but says an announcement will be made in the "coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the March cancellation of the remaining 2019-20 hockey season included all national championships, leading to Hockey Canada and various host organizing committees having to plan, or make changes, for the 2020-21 season and beyond.
