CALGARY, Alberta – Hockey Canada has announced the 32 players who will attend Canada’s National Para Hockey Team training camp, Sept. 27–Oct. 2 at the Woolwich Memorial Centre in Elmira, Ontario.

Five goaltenders, 11 defence and 16 forwards—including 16 members of the team that won a gold medal at the 2024 World Para Hockey Championship in Calgary—were selected by head coach Russ Herrington (Unionville, ON) and assistant coaches Mike Fountain (Gravenhurst, ON), Boris Rybalka (Vernon, BC) and Greg Westlake (Oakville, ON).

“This camp is an important step in our journey as we begin to defend our world championship gold medal,” Herrington said. “We have an experienced group returning, as well as a group of promising young athletes that are looking to make an impression with our staff. This week allows everyone to begin to work together to become Team Canada.”

The evaluation camp includes practices, off-ice training and a trio of intrasquad games from Sept. 28-30, and will serve as an opportunity to evaluate and prepare for future international competitions.

Following evaluation camp, Canada’s National Para Hockey Team will compete in the International Para Hockey Cup, Oct. 7-13 in Ostrava, Czechia.
