Several QMJHL roster changes made for the 2008 ADT Canada-Russia Challenge

BOUCHERVILLE, Saturday, November 15, 2008 – Four new players have been added to Team QMJHL’s roster for the 2008 ADT Canada-Russia Challenge due to injuries sustained by forwards Jordan Caron and Philippe Cornet of the Rimouski Océanic in their battle against the Victoriaville Tigres yesterday. Forwards Michael Stinziani (Cape Breton), Nicholas Petersen (Shawinigan), Mike Hoffman (Drummondville) and Maxime Macenauer (Rouyn-Noranda) are expected to make the trip to either Cape Breton or Saint John.

Michael Stinziani and Nicholas Petersen will be in uniform for the first game of the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge on Monday at the Centre 200 in Cape Breton while Mike Hoffman and Maxime Macenauer will head to Saint John to take part in the second game on Wednesday at Harbour Station.

Of note, the event plays a crucial role in the selection process of Canada's next World Junior Hockey Championship team.
