Sarnia Sting goalie Ben Gaudreau is going to take part in Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence Goaltending Camp.
He's one of 12 under-17 netminders that was invited to the event, taking place June 5-8 in Calgary.
"The Program of Excellence goaltending camp is another great opportunity to work with the top young goaltenders in the country, and a very important part of the development process for these athletes," said Shawn Bullock, director of men's national teams for Hockey Canada. "This four-day camp will provide goalies at all levels of our program the benefit of working with and learning from some of the top instructors in Canada in preparation for the upcoming season."
The 15-year-old was chosen seventh overall in the recent OHL draft, becoming the highest picked goalie in the league since 2002.
This past season, Gaudreau suited up for the North Bay Trappers Midget AAA team.
The Corbeil, Ontario native posted an impressive 1.13 GAA in 21 games played, helping his Trappers capture the Great North Midget League title.
Gaudreau was also the starting goaltender for Team Ontario at the Canada Winter Games where they captured a silver medal.
