Walchuk works out with Canada

Hockey: Former Spokane Chiefs center Dylan Walchuk is in camp with Team Canada, invited by former Chiefs coach Mike Babcock as an emergency substitute for Joe Thornton.

“(It’s) like a dream come true, kind of,” Walchuk told NHL.com. “I don’t know, it was sweet just seeing those guys on TV all the time and getting to play with them.”

Walchuk, 21, is playing for the University of Calgary Dinos. When Thornton (San Jose Sharks) couldn’t join his fellow Olympic hopefuls in Calgary, Alberta, Walchuk caught the eye of Babcock’s staff after the Dinos participated in a walk-through.

“We put them through the paces and that kid was the best kid on the ice by a million miles …” said Babcock, the Detroit Red Wings’ coach.
