In addition to the World Junior Exhibition game between Sweden and Slovakia on Monday, December 19th, the City of Cornwall is proud to announce that Denmark and Slovakia will be calling Cornwall and the Benson Centre home for their pre-competition camps.

Team Denmark will arrive for their first workout at the Benson Centre on Thursday, December 15th, while Team Slovakia will hold their first practice on Saturday, December 17th. Both teams will hold free and open practises during their stay in Cornwall. The open practices will provide local players, coaches and hockey fans in Cornwall and Eastern Ontario an opportunity to see high level drills performed by world class athletes. Those in attendance are encouraged to bring along a non-perishable food item for local food banks.
