CALGARY -- Canadian hockey fans are about to get a better idea of what the country's 2010 Olympic team might look like.

Hockey Canada will release its list of invites to the summer orientation camp on Thursday morning.

Even though it's not mandatory for the Olympic team to be comprised of players who attend the camp, every member of Team Canada at the past two Games has done so.

Executive director Steve Yzerman is extending roughly 40-46 invites to the camp, which will be held in Calgary from Aug. 24-27.
