Seattle Thunderbirds general manager Russ Farwell today announced defenseman Shea Theodore has been invited to attend Canada's Summer Under-18 Team selection camp, August 3 through August 6, at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto.
"Shea pushed his way into this group of players with his strong play last season. He will be a significant contender to make this team", said Farwell.
"It means a lot to me. It shows how hard I have worked and how far I have to go. It's a great accomplishment and I am going to go to Toronto expecting to make the team," said Theodore.
Hockey Canada has invited 40 players to the selection camp, of which 22 will make the Under-18 team. Theodore will be one of 12 defensemen competing for a spot on the team.
The Under-18 team will play in the 2012 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament in Piestany, Slovakia, and Breclav, Czech Republic, from August 13 to August 18.
