You have to take the pre-tournament camp and travel into consideration too.
Last year's camp started on December 11. It may have been a little earlier than normal because they had to travel so far for the tournament. I can't find any information about this year's camp, but it is likely to be close to the same time frame because the tournament is in Sweden.
The Flames go on a 5 game road trip in the middle of December. If he attends the Junior camp, he likely won't go on that trip. The Gold Medal game is January 5. The Flames play in Colorado and Phoenix on January 6 & 7. His first game back would likely be January 9.
The Flames play 12 games in the time he would likely be away.
