Three talented young hockey players from Calgary have been invited to participate in the Junior A World Challenge Selection Camp, showcasing their skills on an international stage.
The three players, all members of the Calgary Canucks, have been selected to join the camp in hopes of securing a spot on Team Canada West for the upcoming tournament.
Forward Ethan Rowland, defenseman Ryan Helliwell, and goaltender Brayden Peters have all been recognized for their exceptional abilities and will have the opportunity to compete against some of the best junior players from around the world.
The Junior A World Challenge is an annual tournament that brings together top junior players from various countries to compete for the championship title. This year’s event will take place in Bonnyville, Alberta from December 11-19.
The selection camp, which will be held in Calgary from December 2-5, will serve as a final evaluation for coaches to determine the roster for Team Canada West. The team will then go on to compete against Team Canada East, the United States, Russia, and the Czech Republic.
The Calgary Canucks organization is proud to have three of their players chosen for this prestigious opportunity. Head coach Brad Moran expressed his excitement for the players, stating, “It’s a great honor for these young men to be invited to the selection camp. They have worked hard and deserve this chance to showcase their skills on an international level.”
The Canucks have a history of producing top talent, with several former players going on to play in the National Hockey League (NHL). This year’s selection of three players to the Junior A World Challenge Selection Camp only adds to the team’s reputation for developing skilled players.
As the camp approaches, all eyes will be on Rowland, Helliwell, and Peters as they compete for a chance to represent their country and make their mark on the international stage. The Calgary Canucks organization and the entire city of Calgary will be cheering them on as they strive for success in the Junior A World Challenge.
