CALGARY, AB - Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced on Monday that 37 of Canada's best junior-aged hockey players (born in 1988 or later) have been invited to take part in Canada's National Junior Selection Camp from December 10-14, 2007.

The Regina Pats will send their captain Logan Pyett to this year selection camp. Pyett, along with 11 other defencemen will be battling for a spot on this year's team. Pyett will be joined by Regina Pats Head Coach Curtis Hunt.

Pats captain, Logan Pyett (5'11",198 Ibs) will be trying to represent Canada and WHL for the third time this season, as he took part in the Canada/Russia Super Series at the end of August as well as the ADT Challenge at the end of November. The native of Balgonie, SK has notched 13 goals (4 Game Winners), and 15 assists so far this season. Pyett, the 7th round pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 2006, is in his fourth season as a Regina Pat and will get a serious look to be a part of this year's team Canada.

Hunt, who was the assistant coach for the Canadian National Junior team last season will be back for his second stint as an assistant coach. Hunt is in his fourth season behind the Pats bench and has led them to a 19-11-0-1 record to start the season.
