Seattle Thunderbirds<\/a> defenseman Shea Theodore has been invited to attend Canada’s Summer Under-18 Team selection camp, Aug. 3-6 at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n“Shea pushed his way into this group of players with his strong play last season,” said T-Birds general manager Russ Farwell. “He will be a significant contender to make this team.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hockey Canada has invited 40 players to the selection camp. Twenty-two will make the team. Theodore will be one of 12 defensemen competing for a spot on the team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It means a lot to me,” Theodore said. “It shows how hard I have worked and how far I have to go. It’s a great accomplishment and I am going to go to Toronto expecting to make the team.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Under-18 team will play in the 2012 Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament in Piestany, Slovakia, and Breclav, Czech Republic, from Augu. 13-18.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
