MONTREAL, QC–Today marked the first day of summer camp for Hockey Canada’s National Junior Team invitees at the Canadiens’ practice facility in Brossard. Canadiens’ prospects Charles Hudon and Zachary Fucale skated alongside other Under-20 hopefuls including the star of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Avalanche prospect Nathan MacKinnon. The 35 players were divided into two groups that each performed drills for the balance of about an hour each. Tomorrow, they will return to Brossard for a scrimmage before taking off for Lake Placid, New York, where they will participate in exhibition games against Finland, Sweden, and the defending champions, the United States.

Here is a look at some of today’s action:
