BROSSARD, Que. -- Having to wear a cage instead of a visor is the only drawback to being at the Canadian junior team summer development camp for young phenom Connor McDavid. As a player under 18 years old, the 16-year-old McDavid had to wear a full face cage as he skated on a line with another "underage" player, Sam Reinhart, and Phoenix Coyotes first-round draft pick Max Domi at the first day of camp on Sunday. "Everyones wearing a visor, so wearing a cage makes me stick out like a sore thumb, I guess," the Erie Otters centre said. "Its a constant reminder that Im younger, but its kind of funny. "The guys are giving me a couple of jabs here and there, but its fun." McDavid, the early choice to go first overall in the 2015 NHL draft, has a good chance to be one of the rare 16-year-olds to make Canadas world junior championship team. It is the first step toward picking the squad that will represent Canada at the world under-20 championship Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Malmo, Sweden. Coach Brent Sutter put McDavid and Reinhart on the same line to build on the chemistry the youngsters started while leading Canada to a gold medal at the world under-18 championship in Sochi, Russia, last spring. Their linemate then was Morgan Klimchuk, who is not at the summer camp. "When the lineup sheet came out, we both kind of looked at it and looked at each and said again, McDavid said. "Its kind of nice playing with someone you know, and playing with Domi is pretty easy, so Im looking forward to it." The squad will skate again Monday at the Montreal Canadiens practice facility and then head to Lake Placid, N.Y. for exhibition games Wednesday against Finland, Thursday against Sweden and Saturday against the United States. The team wont be picked until December, but the camp gives players a chance to get to know each other and get used to the system of play. McDavid brings a special blend of speed and playmaking ability, and the team brass saw no point in putting him on the under-18 squad that will play at the Ivan Hlinka tournament this week in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Not when he has an excellent chance of cracking the under-20 team roster. The 17-year-old Reinhart, of the Kootenay Ice, is projected to go high in the 2014 draft and is also highly skilled. "Theyre special players in their own right," said Sutter. "Theyre obviously exceptional players. "They have as good of a shot as anybody to make this team, and thats the mindset. Were not about age, were about giving ourselves the best chance to succeed and well try to put together the right team to give ourselves that chance." If McDavid makes it, he would join Sidney Crosby, Eric Lindros, Jason Spezza, Jay Bouwmeester and Wayne Gretzky as Canadian 16-year-olds to play at a world junior. But the Newmarket, Ont., native is used to playing with and against older players. "You look around and you see guys like Scott Laughton and Morgan Rielly and Tom Wilson -- these are all guys that played in the NHL or have legitimate shots of playing in the NHL next year," he said. "So you look around and say jeez, what am I doing here? "But I think Ive fit in well and I just hope to keep on growing." Reinhart was glad to skate with McDavid again. "I think its just really easy to play with him," said Reinhart. "Hes really smart and in every situation he comes out with the puck, so you just have to be ready for when he passes it over to you. "Its still my age group, I just have a late birthday. I think looking at him, hes used to playing with older guys his whole career. So I dont think it affects him in any way, and it definitely doesnt affect me." Domi, the son of former NHL tough guy Tie Domi, didnt mind being put together with the young guns. "I played with Reinhart a bit at U18s and hes an awesome player, but Connor, I mean, its crazy to think that hes that much younger than us," said Domi, a skilled winger for the London Knights. "Its unbelievable out there. "We were teasing. He was about 12-for-12 on his shots, so we were giving it to him out there a bit, but hes way beyond his years." Sam is in camp with his older brother Griffin Reinhart, a defenceman from the Edmonton Oil Kings who may not be around for the world juniors because he has a good chance of making the New York Islanders roster this season. But if Griffin plays, they would be the first brothers on the Canadian team since Freddie and Dougie Hamilton in 2012. The only other brother combination was Randy and Mike Moller in 1982. Not on the ice was winger Jonathan Drouin, the third overall pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who will sit out both days with a sore foot. Drouin had been looking forward to skating with his Halifax Mooseheads linemate Nathan MacKinnon, who went first overall to Colorado. That chance is gone, because the four returning players from the last world juniors -- MacKinnon, Drouin, Reinhart and Morgan Rielly of the Moose Jaw Warriors -- will not make the trip to Lake Placid so that coaches can get a better look at the newcomers. The injury is not considered serious. Drouin had recently been hit in the foot by a puck, a team spokesman said. Felix Girard of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar took his spot on the line with MacKinnon and big Plymouth Whalers right winger Wilson. The players were split into two groups, each on the ice for an hour to skate drills as coaches begin to install their system of play. Only the three goalies, Zach Fucale of the Mooseheads, Eric Comrie of the Tri-City Americans and Jake Paterson of Saginaw Spirit took part in both sessions. Mondays session will have a scrimmage to get everyone involved at once. "Today was a bit of a skill practice, and obviously we play in two days so we have to start implementing some things we want to do in a game-like situation," said Sutter. "We didnt have a lot of ice time with each group, we certainly could have used a little bit more, but you do the best you can with what you have. "I thought the guys responded really well with it, the pace was really good and it was for the most part pretty sharp for the first day on ice." Fake Yeezy China .

Scalise wrote in an email to Harvard student-athletes that he decided to cancel the rest of the teams season because the practice, in which women were rated on their perceived sexual appeal and physical appearance, appeared to be more widespread across the team and has continued beyond 2012, including in 2016.As a direct result of what Harvard Athletics has learned, we have decided to cancel the remainder of the 2016 mens soccer season, Scalise wrote. The team will forfeit its remaining games and will decline any opportunity to achieve an Ivy League championship or to participate in the NCAA Tournament this year.On Friday, the mens soccer team issued an apology in The Harvard Crimson.We accept responsibility for the mistakes and serious lapses in judgment that have led us here, and, in addition to accepting the sanctions from the Athletic Department, are shifting our focus toward the concrete actions we can take to address the fundamental issue of sexism in our community, the team said in its apology.The school had been investigating a document that was circulated by the 2012 mens soccer team. The document, which comprised sexual comments about members of the womens soccer team, was uncovered last week by The Harvard Crimson.University president Drew Faust said in a statement that she was deeply distressed to learn that the appalling actions of the 2012 mens soccer team were not isolated to one year or the actions of a few individuals.The decision to ccancel a season is serious and consequential, and reflects Harvards view that both the teams behavior and the failure to be forthcoming when initially questioned are completely unacceptable, have no place at Harvard, and run counter to the mutual respect that is a core value of our community, Faust wrote.ddddddddddddRakesh Khurana, the dean of Harvard, released a statement Thursday evening saying he was saddened and disappointed to learn that the extremely offensive scouting report produced by the 2012 mens soccer team continued through the current season.The document rated the attractiveness of recruits on the womens team and included lewd comments about them.
