The four-team tournament will feature prospects from the Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.
“We have great fans all over B.C. and we’re excited to once again host the Young Stars Classic in beautiful Penticton, B.C.,” said Trevor Linden, Canucks President of Hockey Operations. “This is an excellent event for fans in the Okanagan and gives us a platform to further develop and assess our prospects in competitive games.”
“This is high-level hockey – fast, very skilled, hard-hitting and intense. It really is a must-see event for hockey fans looking to take in NHL-calibre hockey,” said Event Chair and Mayor Andrew Jakubeit. “This signature festival generates significant economic activity for Penticton and neighbouring communities, as well as the energy and exposure that four Canadian NHL teams bring to our doorstep.”
This year the festivities will include a Canucks Town Hall Breakfast as well as Minor Hockey Day, which will include a Party on the Plaza event with games, food, music and entertainment as well as skills and development camps for B.C. minor hockey players.
