Vienneau named to CJHL Prospects Game
Guelph Storm goaltending prospect Joel Vienneau was named to the roster for Team East at the 2009 CJHL Prosects Event. From December 7th – 9th, 2009 the community of Winkler and the province of Manitoba will host the Canadian Junior Hockey League and the 5th Annual CJHL Prospects Game.
The Team East roster is composed of 7 CJHL players, 6 CCHL players, 4 players from the OJAHL, and 1 player from the LHJAAAQ, MJAHL and NOJHL. Player selection is a joint initiative of the CJHL and NHL Central Scouting. Team East and Team West will each consist of two goaltenders, six defensemen and twelve forwards.
The CJHL Prospects Game was created to showcase the top 40 NHL draft eligible players in the Canadian Junior Hockey League. In October 2009, 27 players from the Canadian Junior Hockey League were recognized on the NHL Central Scouting “Players to Watch” List for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Nine players on the Team East roster were amongst those identified.
Chosen by the Storm in the 7th round of the 2008 OHL Priority Selection, the Hearst, Ontario native was recently included on the NHL Central Scouting’s “Players to Watch” List. Vienneau is playing for the Kingston Voyageurs in the OJAHL with a terrific 16-1-0-1 record and leads the league in save percentage (0.940), goals against average (1.71) and is tied for the league lead with two shutouts.
