RENFREW, ON. - The NOJHL All-Stars dropped a pair of games to their Jr. counterparts at the Team Canada East selection camp in Renfrew on Saturday.

The NOJHLers then fell 6-1 to the Quebec Jr. AAA All-Stars. Sudbury's Erik Belanger scored the lone goal for the NOJHL squad. Former Temiscaming Royals goalie Jessy Lecours got the win for the Quebec Selects.
