The Associated PressFormer Waterloo Black Hawk Joe Pavelski is one of 34 players invited to the U.S. Olympic hockey orientation camp in August.
The team will be coached by Ron Wilson, who was Pavelski's old coach with the San Jose Sharks. In three seasons with the Sharks, Pavelski has registerd 58 goals and 69 assists.
The brothers of former Black Hawks Blake Kessel (Phil) and Garett Suter (Ryan) have also been invited.
Those invited to the camp represent 22 NHL teams, although no player is assured a place on the Olympic roster. Also, a player can still make the team even if he hadn't been invited to the camp.
Five players who will be in attendance in August have Olympic experience - Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars, Chris Drury of the New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Brian Rafalski, Rangers forward Scott Gomez and Jamie Langenbrunner of the New Jersey Devils.
