Leblanc, Gallagher, Bournival Invited to Final World Juniors Camp

By Rookie, AllHabs.net

MONTREAL, QC. — Three Montreal Canadiens prospects, all forwards, are one step closer to playing for Canada at the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championship.

Louis Leblanc, Montreal’s first-round draft pick in 2009, has 28 points in his first season with the Montreal Juniors of the QMJHL. He was cut from last year’s Team Canada but stands to make a bigger impression at camp this year, since many of the team’s 2010 stars are currently occupied in the NHL.

Brendan Gallagher, drafted 147th this year by the Canadiens, has 38 points this season to date with the Vancouver Giants of the WHL.

Michael Bournival was drafted 71st overall by the Colorado Avalanche this year and traded to the Canadiens in the same transaction that sent Ryan O’Byrne to the Avalanche. Bournival has turned heads this season in the QMJHL, with 31 points in 24 games. No stranger to international competition, Bournival took part in the U-18 World Championship in 2009, with three points in six games.

The players invited to the final Team Canada camp, as per TSN, are:
