Incumbent De Rouville snubbed by Canadians
Absent from the invitation list to the Canadian national junior team’s final evaluation camp was College Francais goalie Philippe De Rouville, the backup on last year’s gold-medal team. Seven players from the Quebec League were among 32 players invited to the camp Dec. 13 to 18 in Kitchener, Ont. Twenty-two players will make the team for the World Junior Championships Dec. 26 to Jan. 4 in the Czech Republic. “In the way we analyzed their performances on the ice and their mental capacity, (Laval Titan’s Emmanuel) Fernandez had a slight edge over De Rouville,” said Team Canada and Beau-port Harfangs’ coach Joe Canale. “It was close, but Fernandez had the edge on performance and hunger to make the team.” Canale and his staff decided to name only three goalies (Saskatoon Blades’ Norm Maracle…

The 44-year-old Canadian coach was an assistant under Perry Peam with last year’s team. “People in Canada look for guarantees,” said Canale, who coaches the Beauport Harfangs of the Quebec League,…
Shootout is win-tie situation in International League
LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif.-The father of the International League shootout said his baby has been the source of much heartache, but loves it anyway. More significantly for Larry Gordon, so do the fans. “All too often, owners, managers, coaches and players forget that it’s the paying customer who allows us to play this game at the pro level,” said the Cleveland Lumberjacks’ general manager. “And even though my record has been atrocious, I know the fans love it.” Gordon has been the victim more often than victor since the IHL introduced shootouts in 1985-86, but said he has no regrets. The concept is so popular the league dropped its five-minute overtime period this season and now goes straight to shootouts when games are tied after 60 minutes. Here’s how it works: Each team chooses five shooters to…
