The face of the Canadian men's 2010 Olympic hockey team is about to take shape.

On Thursday morning, Hockey Canada will announce the players invited to the summer orientation camp.

Steve Yzerman, the team's executive director, will send invitations to 40 to 45 players. The camp will take place in Calgary from Aug. 24-27.

Players who make the final roster are not required to have attended the camp, but each Team Canada member at the previous two Olympics have participated in it.
