TERRANCE TO REPRESENT OTTERS AT CAPITAL CITY CHALLENGE
Erie, Pennsylvania – Carey Terrance, the #10 overall pick in the 2021 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection Draft, will represent the Erie Otters and the OHL at the four-team Capital City Challenge tournament in Ottawa, ON.
In a release announcing the one-off event, Hockey Canada stated ‘The Capital City Challenge will serve as a one-time event to replace the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, while providing an opportunity for Canada’s National Women’s Team to compete as part of its centralization schedule.”.
This will be the second U17-style tournament for Terrance, who was named to the U.S. Selects team in the 2021 Five Nations Tournament in Visp, Switzerland – where he scored five points (3G+2A) in three games for the tournament-champion USA team. The 16-year-old forward from Akwesasne, NY has played in five games for the Otters to start his rookie season, scoring his first-career goal on Sunday, October 24.
“I’m beyond excited to be part of the Capital City Challenge representing the Erie Otters. Playing against some of the best women in the country will be a great experience.” said Terrance “Growing up, were were in Ottawa every weekend for either hockey or lacrosse – it’s practically our backyard! Definitely looking forward to playing close to home.”

EST at TD Place Arena in Ottawa – home of the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s – with Canada’s National Women’s Team taking on Team Canada White.
