Boston College assistant hockey coach Ron Rolston has been named to the coaching staff for the 2002 U.S. National Junior Evaluation Camp, according to an announcement made by USA Hockey.
Rolston was one of five coaches selected to the staff. The other staff members are: Lou Vairo, who will serve as head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team that will compete in the 2003 IIHF World Junior Championship; Mike Hastings; Gordie Roberts; and Jeff Sauer.
The camp will be held Aug. 1-10 at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, N.Y., and will include the 2002 USA Hockey Summer Challenge, an exhibition series between two U.S. squads (Teams Blue and White) and an under-20 select team from Finland. The 47 players at the evaluation camp are candidates for the 2003 U.S. National Junior Team that will compete in the 2003 IIHF World Junior Championship. The tournament, which features the world's best players under the age of 20, will take place Dec. 26, 2002-Jan. 5, 2003 in Sydney and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Three Boston College hockey players -- Ryan Murphy, Ryan Shannon and Dave Spina -- are among 47 players who have been invited to the 2002 U.S. National Junior Evaluation Camp.
Rolston is in his first year at Boston College. After serving three years as assistant coach at Harvard, he joined Jerry York's coaching staff on May 16, 2002, replacing Scott Paluch.
