Hey there, time traveller!

WINNIPEG – Winnipeg Jets first-round draft pick Mark Scheifele has been invited to Team Canada’s selection camp next month in Calgary.
The camp will include 41 of the top prospects in the country between 18 and 20 years old, all vying for a spot to compete at the World Junior Championships.
Scheifele played seven games for the Jets to start this season and since being returned to the OHL’s Barrie Colts, he has put up nine goals and 26 points in just 14 games.
The camp invite list also includes Winnipeg’s Mark Stone of the Brandon Wheat Kings and Oak Bank’s Quinton Howden of the Moose Jaw Warriors.
This morning, Jets coach Claude Noel was encouraged to hear that Scheifele, the 18-year-old centre who made his team out of training camp, was in the mix for Team Canada.
“I think it’d be great for the development part of things,” Noel said. “It’s a high level, it’s pressure-packed and that’s all part of maturing.
“Hopefully he gets through that process and makes that team. He’s had a lot of success going back to junior. I really hope he gets an opportunity to stay there because I think there’s a tremendous growth for that. You hope he gets that chance. You know he’ll be trying; he’s a very sincere player.
“It’s nice to see he’s having success and has been rewarded with a tryout there.”
