“I had a good summer,” he said. “I knew I had to have a breakout year and really prove that I belong.”
Daws is one of four goalies at Canada’s selection camp this week hoping to earn a spot on the 23-man roster for the under-20 tournament that runs Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in the Czech Republic.Olivier Rodrigue and Hunter Jones have a history with Hockey Canada at lower age groups and were both part of the setup this summer, but Daws and Joel Hofer are green on the international stage as the country prepares to take three netminders overseas.
“I came into this season not knowing where I was going to play,” he said. “It ended up working out. I got to stay in Guelph. I really proved myself.The world juniors weren’t on his radar until he was invited to play for the OHL team in November’s Canada-Russia exhibition series, where Daws, who had a sub-.900 save percentage in junior before this season, stopped all 13 shots he faced.
“We’ve played him three times and he’s shut us down,” said forward Cole Perfetti, who plays for the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit. “It’s pretty cool. He wasn’t part of the program for under-17s, under-18s, but he deserves to be here.”Story continues below advertisement
