BROSSARD, Que. Nick Murphy Jersey . -- Having to wear a cage instead of a visor is the only drawback to being at the Canadian junior team summer development camp for young phenom Connor McDavid. As a player under 18 years old, the 16-year-old McDavid had to wear a full face cage as he skated on a line with another "underage" player, Sam Reinhart, and Phoenix Coyotes first-round draft pick Max Domi at the first day of camp on Sunday. "Everyones wearing a visor, so wearing a cage makes me stick out like a sore thumb, I guess," the Erie Otters centre said. "Its a constant reminder that Im younger, but its kind of funny. "The guys are giving me a couple of jabs here and there, but its fun." McDavid, the early choice to go first overall in the 2015 NHL draft, has a good chance to be one of the rare 16-year-olds to make Canadas world junior championship team. It is the first step toward picking the squad that will represent Canada at the world under-20 championship Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Malmo, Sweden. Coach Brent Sutter put McDavid and Reinhart on the same line to build on the chemistry the youngsters started while leading Canada to a gold medal at the world under-18 championship in Sochi, Russia, last spring. Their linemate then was Morgan Klimchuk, who is not at the summer camp. "When the lineup sheet came out, we both kind of looked at it and looked at each and said again, McDavid said. "Its kind of nice playing with someone you know, and playing with Domi is pretty easy, so Im looking forward to it." The squad will skate again Monday at the Montreal Canadiens practice facility and then head to Lake Placid, N.Y. for exhibition games Wednesday against Finland, Thursday against Sweden and Saturday against the United States. The team wont be picked until December, but the camp gives players a chance to get to know each other and get used to the system of play. McDavid brings a special blend of speed and playmaking ability, and the team brass saw no point in putting him on the under-18 squad that will play at the Ivan Hlinka tournament this week in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Not when he has an excellent chance of cracking the under-20 team roster. The 17-year-old Reinhart, of the Kootenay Ice, is projected to go high in the 2014 draft and is also highly skilled. "Theyre special players in their own right," said Sutter. "Theyre obviously exceptional players. "They have as good of a shot as anybody to make this team, and thats the mindset. Were not about age, were about giving ourselves the best chance to succeed and well try to put together the right team to give ourselves that chance." If McDavid makes it, he would join Sidney Crosby, Eric Lindros, Jason Spezza, Jay Bouwmeester and Wayne Gretzky as Canadian 16-year-olds to play at a world junior. But the Newmarket, Ont., native is used to playing with and against older players. "You look around and you see guys like Scott Laughton and Morgan Rielly and Tom Wilson -- these are all guys that played in the NHL or have legitimate shots of playing in the NHL next year," he said. "So you look around and say jeez, what am I doing here? "But I think Ive fit in well and I just hope to keep on growing." Reinhart was glad to skate with McDavid again. "I think its just really easy to play with him," said Reinhart. "Hes really smart and in every situation he comes out with the puck, so you just have to be ready for when he passes it over to you. "Its still my age group, I just have a late birthday. I think looking at him, hes used to playing with older guys his whole career. So I dont think it affects him in any way, and it definitely doesnt affect me." Domi, the son of former NHL tough guy Tie Domi, didnt mind being put together with the young guns. "I played with Reinhart a bit at U18s and hes an awesome player, but Connor, I mean, its crazy to think that hes that much younger than us," said Domi, a skilled winger for the London Knights. "Its unbelievable out there. "We were teasing. He was about 12-for-12 on his shots, so we were giving it to him out there a bit, but hes way beyond his years." Sam is in camp with his older brother Griffin Reinhart, a defenceman from the Edmonton Oil Kings who may not be around for the world juniors because he has a good chance of making the New York Islanders roster this season. But if Griffin plays, they would be the first brothers on the Canadian team since Freddie and Dougie Hamilton in 2012. The only other brother combination was Randy and Mike Moller in 1982. Not on the ice was winger Jonathan Drouin, the third overall pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who will sit out both days with a sore foot. Drouin had been looking forward to skating with his Halifax Mooseheads linemate Nathan MacKinnon, who went first overall to Colorado. That chance is gone, because the four returning players from the last world juniors -- MacKinnon, Drouin, Reinhart and Morgan Rielly of the Moose Jaw Warriors -- will not make the trip to Lake Placid so that coaches can get a better look at the newcomers. The injury is not considered serious. Drouin had recently been hit in the foot by a puck, a team spokesman said. Felix Girard of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar took his spot on the line with MacKinnon and big Plymouth Whalers right winger Wilson. The players were split into two groups, each on the ice for an hour to skate drills as coaches begin to install their system of play. Only the three goalies, Zach Fucale of the Mooseheads, Eric Comrie of the Tri-City Americans and Jake Paterson of Saginaw Spirit took part in both sessions. Mondays session will have a scrimmage to get everyone involved at once. "Today was a bit of a skill practice, and obviously we play in two days so we have to start implementing some things we want to do in a game-like situation," said Sutter. "We didnt have a lot of ice time with each group, we certainly could have used a little bit more, but you do the best you can with what you have. "I thought the guys responded really well with it, the pace was really good and it was for the most part pretty sharp for the first day on ice." Ray Lewis Jersey .

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.  Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review?  Why was this overturned?  James Veaudry Pembroke, ON --  Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. http://www.customravensjersey.com/custom-jihad-ward-jersey-large-1373d.html . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Coyotes have hired Dawn Braid as their skating coach and say she is believed to be the first full-time female coach in NHL history.Braid has a long association with the NHL.She worked part time for the Coyotes last year and has served as a skating consultant with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Anaheim Ducks, Buffalo Sabres and Calgary Flames.Braid also spent seven years with the Athletes Training Center as director of skating development. Among the skaters she worked with there is New York Islanders center John Tavares.Its something that Ive wanted to see happen, she said in a statement released by the Coyotes. The fact that they respect what I do enough to name me as a full-time coach, or to name me as the first female coach in the NHL, I take a ton off pride in that. Sam Koch Jersey. Ive worked very hard for this opportunity. Its been going on for years and I just look forward to going even further with it.The hiring is the latest in a series of breakthroughs for women in mens sports.Last year, the Buffalo Bills made Kathryn Smith the NFLs first full-time assistant coach. Smith is the teams quality control coach.The NBA has had two female assistant coaches -- Becky Hammon of the San Antonio Spurs and Nancy Lieberman of the Sacramento Kings.A year ago, the Arizona Cardinals made Jen Welter the first woman to hold a coaching position of any kind in the NFL when she served as an intern in the preseason.
