Klimchuk is confirmed to be attending. Looking forward to meeting up with old roommate Sam Bennett:

The forwards skated on the national under-18 side last spring and, in fact, had been roommates on the gold-winning entry at the world championship in Sochi, Russia.

“I know him quite well,” says Klimchuk, a left-winger. “A great person and an even better player.”

So when his employers chose Bennett?

“I was really excited,” he says. “For the Flames to get a guy like that, who I am pretty familiar with? It’s very beneficial because you can skip the introduction.”

Asked for a snapshot of his chum, Klimchuk doesn’t hesitate.

“Real good all-around player — he does it all. He’s someone who doesn’t like to get pushed around. He can contribute on all sides of the puck. Good with the puck. Good away from the puck. It shows why he was the fourth-overall pick. He could have been the first-overall pick — he’s that good.”

For Klimchuk — and his buddy Bennett — this week kicks off a hectic stretch.
