LONDON, Ont. - Five members of the 黑料不打烊 Redmen are among 31 hockey players from the Ontario University Athletics conference that have been invited by Western Ontario head coach Clarke Singer to a CIS training camp next week in preparation for the 24th Winter Universiade in Erzurum, Turkey next month. The event, also known as the World University Winter Games, will run from January 23 to February 6.

听

The camp is scheduled for London, Ont., Dec. 9-14, with practices slated for Thompson Arena and Western Fair, along with an exhibition game in Toronto against Canada's national world junior team Dec. 14 at the MasterCard Centre.

黑料不打烊, the No.2-ranked team in the nation, has the second-highest number of players invited, behind the No.4-ranked Western Mustangs, who lead the way with seven players.

听

Four goalies, 11 defencemen and 16 forwards are in the mix, headlined by 黑料不打烊's Francis Verreault-Paul, the OUA's player of the year and a BLG award nominee last season. The native of Mashteuiatsch, Que.,听is a third-year science student who currently leads the CIS with 22 goals and 33 points in 14 games.

Joining him in training camp are 黑料不打烊 teammates Evan Vossen, a senior forward out of Swift Current, Sask., centre Maxime Langelier-Parent of Boucherville, Que., goaltender Hubert Morin of St-Georges-de-Beauce, Que., and blueliner Marc-Andre Dorion of St-Hubert, Que., who was named as the CIS most outstanding defenceman last year.

听

Headlining the Mustangs is goaltender Anthony Grieco of Brampton, Ont., who has posted a 2.51 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage in 11 starts heading into this weekend. Joining him are teammates Geoff Killing of Embro, Ont., and Scott Aarssen of London, Ont., both defencemen, in addition to veteran forwards Aaron Snow of Windsor, Ont., Keaton Turkiewicz of Brantford, Ont., Kevin Baker of Georgetown, Ont., and Yashar Farmanara of West Vancouver, B.C.

Carleton's Brad Albert, a rookie from Nepean, Ont., senior Brad Good of Kitchener, Ont., are also vying for spots on the blue line, along with forward Brandon MacLean of Burlington, Ont.

The Ottawa Gee-Gees have one player at camp in defenceman Dominic Jalbert of Hull, Que.

听

Rounding out the OUA East representation is Concordia forward Charles-Antoine Messier of Boucherville, Que., and three members of the UQTR Patriotes -- defenceman Pierre-Luc Lessard of Thetford Mines, Que., plus forwards Etienne Bellavance-Martin of St-Jean-Chrysostome, Que., and Francis Charland of Victoriaville, Que.

听

The OUA West has four schools represented, including Waterloo coach Brian Bourque, who will serve as general manager of the squad. The Warriors have three players with rearguards Kyle Sonnenburg of Waterloo, Ont., and Steve Whitely of Petrolia, Ont., and forward Chris Ray of Kelowna, B.C.

听

Lakehead's Jordan Smith (defence) and Matt Caria (forward), both natives of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and are joined by Thunderwolves teammate Kris Hogg, a forward from Sicamous, B.C.

Brock and Windsor each have one player vying for a goaltending spot with the Badgers' Kurt Jory, a third-year player out of Brandon, Man., and the Lancers' Jim Watt a senior from Edmonton. They are among four goalies at camp.

Guelph's Thomas Kiriakou, a forward from Richmond Hill, Ont., and Tim Priamo, a defenceman from Guelph, join Laurier's Jean-Michel Rizk of Dunham, Que. to round out the invitees.

The official team will be announced immediately following training camp. The Canadian team will travel to Turkey on Jan. 22 with games beginning Jan. 27.
