TORONTO - During Canadas first practice at the world junior selection camp the players worked on blocking shots with assistant coaches firing foam pucks at them from a few feet away. In a tournament like this, youre playing for a gold medal and we expect everyone here to sacrifice his body and, to me, its part of being a world-class player. You must adapt to this level and adapt to whats been asked, said head coach Benoit Groulx. Its not something were going to do once. Its something were going to do a lot during the training camp. Sure enough, the players had to do the drill again on the second day of camp. I noticed that many of them were not used to it and I expect them to get much better by the end of this camp, Groulx said. The message was received loud and clear. It kind of shows that everyone is going to have to do that, said Sam Reinhart, the second overall pick in last Junes NHL draft. Everyones going to have to buy into different roles and being in different situations. I think thats an important statement. Players struggled to stay upright while going down on one knee and directing their shin pad at the shooter. It is a technique championed by Groulx, but unfamiliar to most of the 30 guys at the camp. I dont know about technique, said London Knights forward Max Domi. I usually just kind of look at the puck and hope it hits me and its going to hurt. This technique makes a huge difference. You dont feel it. It actually hits your equipment. Im used to taking them off the ankle so this helps a lot. Many of them on their [CHL] teams are playing 20, 25 minutes a game, said Groulx, who coaches the Gatineau Olympiques in the QMJHL. They are the go-to guy on their team and sometimes they arent counted on to block shots, because theyre too important for the team and they dont want to risk that injury. But Groulx has had a constant message since camp opened on Thursday: his players will be aggressive and they will not be outworked. Everyone has to block shots whether youre a 100-point guy or a 30- or 40-point guy, said Oshawa Generals forward Michael Dal Colle, who arrived at the camp riding a 15-game point-scoring streak. Everyones got to play well on the defensive side of the puck as well. We have a lot of offensive guys here, but well have to play different roles. Canada will hold a pair of scrimmages against a team of university all-stars on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. The games are key in determining who will be among the eight players cut by the coaching staff. And Groulx said he isnt simply evaluating talent. I think attitude is key because theyre all talented, the best in our country in their age group, and I think their attitude is something were looking at closely. Its about the way they are competing: the way you forecheck, the way you back-check, if youre blocking shots and if you can adapt to your role. On Saturday morning, Groulx was barking at his players to skate hard off the ice at the end of a shift in a drill. We want to be a four-line team so were not going to have a guy playing 25 minutes, the coach said. They cannot be out there for a 1:10 or 1:20 shift. They have to be out there shorter. Go short and go hard. There are many guys that have a lot of things to prove.
