Yukon hockey player Ted Stephens will have an opportunity to showcase his skills June 1 at a Montreal Canadiens' camp.

Stephens, who just recently completed his second season on the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, found out about the opportunity after receiving an e-mail from the NHL team a couple of weeks ago.

"I'm pretty excited," Stephens said. "I just want to show what I got."

Stephens, along with fellow Yukoner Jordan Lane, helped Moncton more than doubled its win total from the previous 2007-08 season.

The squad finished in third place with a record of 48-14-2 in the QMJHL standings.

The Wildcats tied a league record by earning points in its first 20 games (18-0-2).

Unfortunately for Stephens and Lane, the team's playoff season ended in April after losing its five-game series with the Rimouski Oceanic.

Rimouski was best team in the second half of QMJHL season and had won 28 of 30, heading into its tilt against Moncton. The Wildcat's 4-1 series defeat came after losing three games by just one goal, being outscored 10-8 overall.

In 2008-09, Stephens took a gigantic step forward after his inaugural season in the QMJHL. He followed up a five point 2007-08 campaign by scoring 12 goals and adding 29 assists this past season.

Stephens finished with a plus 20 rating at the conclusion of the 68 game schedule.

He may have finished with even more points if it hadn't been for an injury he suffered in November, which took around six weeks to recover from.

Thankfully Stephens didn't have to deal with any injuries in the team's playoff run.

With his health in good shape, Stephens went on to lead his team in post-season scoring, chipping in five goals and six assists in 10 playoff games.

His contribution in the playoffs was essential in the team's 4-1 series victory over the P.E.I. Rocket, in the opening round.

Stephens said there's a special significance as a result of it being a Montreal Canadiens camp, but added "any NHL team for me is special."

The camp will feature a fitness test and on-ice session.

He said he is currently training in Whitehorse and plans on working on a little bit of everything before the one-day camp.
