BC Hockey announced, earlier this month, that West Kelowna has been selected as the host site for the 2012 Male Under 16 BC Cup. The event will take place at Royal LePage Place in West Kelowna, B.C. from April 12 to 15, 2012.
“The District of West Kelowna is proud to partner with the Westside Minor Hockey Association to host this high performance hockey event, sure to be very rewarding for the players and coaches as well as the spectators,” says West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. “Thanks to our close relationship with the School District #23 and our superb community volunteers, I know we will make all participants of the U16 BC Cup feel most welcome.”
The BC Hockey Male High Performance Program has been designed to instruct and prepare players for future opportunities in the High Performance Program. The Male U16 BC Cup will host the most talented 15-year-old players in B.C., and prepare the players for the next step in their developmental process.
“We are very excited at the opportunity,” says Neil Eisenhunt of the Westside Minor Hockey Association. “This event allows us to show case our community, facilities and most importantly our wonderful hospitality.”
Some notable alumni of the Male U16 BC Cup include:
- Shawn Horcoff of the Edmonton Oilers (Team Kootenay 1994)
- Dan Hamhuis of the Vancouver Canucks (Team North 1999)
- Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks (Team Okanagan 2000)
- Brent Seabrook of the Chicago Blackhawks (Team Greater Vancouver 2001)
Players will be selected to attend the U16 BC Cup based on performance at the U16 Region Camps. Four Region Camps will be held at the end of March/early April, in which 160 players will be selected to compete at the 2012 Male U16 BC Cup. Exact dates and locations for the Region Camps have not yet been finalized.
