Of that number, 18 were selected by the Habs and four received professional tryout contracts.
The players will have to go to the Bell Sports Complex on September 14 for medical and physical tests, but will quickly take the road to Buffalo, where a tournament bringing together the hopes of six teams on the circuit will take place.
Laval Rocket head coach Jean-François Houle and his assistants will take the reins for practices and games.
The official training camp will follow this camp and the CH will then begin its regular season on October 12 by hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs.
