The two local residents are wearing Team Canada jerseys as they play for Canada East in the World Jr. A Challenge, a six-team tourna- ment that features some of the top Tier 2 jun- ior hockey players in the world. Its amazing, Hampton said yesterday (Tuesday), a day after Canada East opened its round-robin schedule with a 6-1 loss to the two-time defending champion United States. From watching the world juniors and Olympics on TV, you see all the great players wearing the Canadian jersey. You just feel hon- oured to be on the same page as them, repre- senting your country. Wilson, an alternate captain for Canada East, added, Its unbelievable, the way the team comes together when it puts on the jersey. Optimistic despite rough start The tournament obviously didnt start the way Wilson and Hampton had hoped, but they remained optimistic that their squad could turn things around, beginning with last nights clash with Sweden (a game that began after the Beavers press deadlines.) Honestly, I think any team in this tourna- ment can win if they play their best. All have individual stars on their team. If our team buys into the system and plays for each other, not just for themselves, I think we have a great chance of winning, Hampton said. If not, Canada East already got some satis- faction out of whipping Canada West 7-2 in an exhibition game before the tournament. Both Wilson and Hampton had a goal and an assist in the romp. Hampton, an 18-year-old defenceman with the Oakville Blades, is in his first full year of junior after playing last year for the Oakville midget AAA Rangers. He has recorded eight points in 17 games with the Blades this season. Wilson is the captain of the Blades biggest rival, the Georgetown Raiders. The 18-year-old forward had a breakthrough year with the Raiders last season, notching 67 points in 56 games, and has been even better this year, earning 37 points in 20 games. Already with a scholarship lined up for UMass-Lowell next year, Wilson said the World Jr. A Challenge is preparing him for the next level. Here, everyone youre playing with is great. Going to school, youll be playing with guys like this, he said. Theres lots of exposure here, tons of (scouts) watching everyone, and the crowds here are amazing. Its a lot of fun. Switzerland and Russia are the other teams in the tournament, which will conclude Sunday with gold- and bronze-medal games.
