BRAMPTON PREPS FOR THE ARRIVAL OF TEAM CZECH REPUBLIC
BRAMPTON, ON: The City of Brampton and Powerade Centre are getting ready to host Team Czech Republic for a Pre-Competition Camp as part of the 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships. The camp runs from December 16 ­ 23, ending with an exhibition game between Team Czech Republic and Team Sweden on Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at 7 pm.
In advance of the camp, representatives from the Team Czech Republic toured the Powerade Centre and viewed other locations in the City last week before starting a weeklong Canadian scouting trip. Members of the local host committee also took the opportunity to meet with the group that included the team's General Manager Petr Misek and Head Coach Marek Sykora (on the picture).
Both Misek and Sykora were very positive about the host facilities. Misek, who had been to the Powerade Centre once before when Rostislav Klesla played for the Brampton Battalion, was impressed with the amenities available to the team during their training camp. "This arena is great," he remarked. "Everything works perfectly for what we need."
"It was important for us to make a good first impression with Team Czech Republic," said Brian Stittle of the City of Brampton's Economic Development Office. "We needed to show them they would be comfortable during their pre-competition camp, and we accomplished that today. Not every host community will have the opportunity to meet with their assigned team prior to the start of the camps, so we were happy to take advantage of this."
According to Misek, Team Czech Republic will arrive in Brampton with as many as 28 players, including three goaltenders. They will use the camp and exhibition game to evaluate the team before selecting a roster that will open the 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships against Team Canada on Boxing Day in Ottawa.
Tickets for the game between Team Czech Republic and Team Sweden on Tuesday, December 23 at 7 pm are still available from the Powerade Centre or by calling 905-459- 9340x101. Tickets, which cost $15 each, are also available through www.ticketmaster.ca. (Ticketmaster Service Charges will apply when purchasing on-line.)
